As per report from sources it was stated that Results of Uttar Pradesh elections may well be quite contrary to the poll bravado used so extensively by Team Modi. There is a sense of deja vu about how Team Modi has been handling the ongoing UP elections, arguably the political semifinals for Indian politics, before the 2019 finals.
Meanwhile the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his handpicked president of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Amit Shah and their entire team of the government and the ruling party at the Centre have done it before not once, but twice before. Team Modi approached Bihar elections in the last quarter of 2015 in a similar vein. Prior to that, Team Modi had done it in Delhi Assembly polls two years ago.
Modi had ensured carpet bombing in campaigning
during Assembly polls for Delhi and Bihar and personally led the poll campaign.
He lost both elections miserably for different reasons. He had lost Delhi
because he underestimated the vast political undercurrent in favor of the Aam
Aadmi Party (AAP) which feasted on the Congress' vote share, and also, because
he para-trooped a rank outsider, Kiran Bedi, and projected her as the BJP's
chief ministerial candidate. She eventually lost even her own seat.
Earlier Rajnath Singh has rocked the Modi-Shah boat with his calculated remarks recently that the party should have given tickets to Muslims while expressing surprise that the BJP did not field even a single candidate from the community in 403 seats. Union ministers like Uma Bharti and Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi have made similar noises which may well be part of bad portents for the Modi-Shah duo if the BJP were to lose UP on March 11.
