Why BJP is now talking about Uttar Pradesh’s stray cattle problem -Arunabh Saikia

With anger building up over economic distress, voters might not be as forgiving about their farm losses this time.

It took time but when it came, it was a flurry. A good ten days into the Assembly elections and with two phases of the seven-phased polling already over, the Bharatiya Janata Party finally addressed the stray cattle problem in Uttar Pradesh’s fields.

The first to break to silence was Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who said on February 20 that the government would formulate a policy to make the dung of non-milch cows commercially lucrative. Days later, chief minister Adityanath followed suit – at a rally where reportedly farmers deliberately released cattle near the ground.

Then, it started becoming a recurring topic in both the leaders’ poll addresses. While Adityanath invoked a cash assistance scheme, which is already operational but hasn’t fully taken off, Modi spoke of having found a new recourse that he wouldn’t specify.

All of this was a marked departure from the existing party line: that the problem of stray cattle, despite being all-pervasive in the state, wasn’t a poll issue at all. This was not necessarily a reflection of conceit – in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, farmers had vocally complained about the problem, yet voted for the BJP nonetheless.

Rakesh Tripathi, a spokesperson for the party’s Uttar Pradesh unit, reasoned, “This would have been an electoral issue had any other party come up with a solution, but they haven’t either, because they know their solution is not acceptable to the people of Uttar Pradesh.”
