The decimation of BSP has hurt the SP chief the most in polls, say observers

For somebody who threw the kitchen sink at the Bharatiya Janta Party during the election campaign, it has been a humbling loss for Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav in Uttar Pradesh.

Observers said everybody knew that nobody could defeat the BJP on the Hindutva pitch but Mr. Yadav got a ‘godsend opportunity’ in the form of the pandemic and farmers’ agitation. After a slow start and making some imprudent comments on vaccine and Jinnah, he recovered well by focusing on real issues and distancing himself from the Muslim party and the parivarvadi tag but ultimately lack of a discerning ideology and lack of commitment meant that he ran a reactive campaign where he kept on grappling the image of heading an unruly party that protects the Muslim mafia, amplified by the so-called nationalist media.

“The fact that he could not capitalise on the weakest moment of the ruling party in the last three elections has left him with a very narrow alley to manoeuvre in future,” said Asmer Baig, professor of Political Science at Aligarh Muslim University.

‘Not good enough’

Prof. Baig was among those who called the election in favour of the BJP. “It is like if you don’t score good marks in semesters, you can’t cover up in the final examination. So, even though he has doubled the tally, it is not good enough.”

Part of the Centre of Study for Developing Societies team that conducted the survey, Prof. Baig said that despite the inconsistency, Mr. Yadav was very much in the race with Yogi Adityanath in popularity sweepstakes but somehow could not convert it into votes. In front of 24X7 politicians such as Narendra Modi and Mr. Adityanath, the pro-BJP media presented Mr. Yadav as a privileged latecomer.
