The farmers’ protests reflect the western region’s pre-election zeitgeist

Uttar pradesh’s regions spanning the west, east, centre and Bundelkhand, exist in silos, each with their own preoccupations and concerns conditioned by economics, geography and demography. However, come an election, political imperatives transcend the distinctive characteristics. UP votes as one state, and has lately, rooted for a single party or coalition. The fractured verdicts that threw UP into disarray in the past are history. The next Assembly election is about five months away. While a lull has seemingly descended over the east and central regions and Bundelkhand, the western belt is in ferment.

The farmers’ protests reflect west UP’s pre-election zeitgeist. The agitation, led by the Jat farmers, saw the emergence of Rakesh Tikait, the spokesperson of the BKU, as a force to reckon with, but Tikait’s resurrection had other after-effects. The maturation of Jayant Chaudhary, who heads the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), is a significant consequence of the agrarian churn. As long as his father, Chaudhary Ajit Singh was around (he passed away in May 2021), his scion lived in his shadow and fought the polls on the legacy of his grandfather, Chaudhary Charan Singh, that appeared to gradually fade away under the weight of the BJP and its Hindutva project.
