All set for assembly elections
Assembly elections will take place on February 4 in Uttar
Pradesh, Punjab, Manipur, Goa and Uttarakhand.
Assembly election results have been determined more often by
regional issues than by national political variables. But with Prime Minister
Narendra Modi having emerged as the BJP’s principal vote-bagger, and with
subjects such as demonetisation on the election agenda, this round will be
influenced by national issues.
U.P. point to a tripartite contest among the Samajwadi Party,
the BJP and the Bahujan Samaj Party. In Punjab, the Shiromani Akali Dal-BJP
combine will be in a keen fight in another tripartite contest, against the
Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party. In Manipur, its government has staked its
chances on the decision to create new districts that precipitated a renewed
ethnic crisis. Goa, in the recent past, has had a volatile Assembly, and the
AAP’s focus on the State has ignited the fray. Together, the results will have
strong reverberations at the national level.
The elections are a test of the governments in power and
their performance. If BJP wins in UP, it reflects the SP’s failure more than
the positive effects of currency ban because people are left with 'all evils'
to choose from. No party will be any better than the other. All are travelling
in the same boat of corruption.
Whatever the consequences of this election but the Ground
reality is both BJP and SP would be the major players in which BJP’s chances are
more than SP
