The dole of ghee, salt, gram and cash is likely to work with some segments of voters

Bareilly: One-kilo packets of ghee, salt and black gram along with the 5kg rice or wheat provided free against ration cards. Mixed with a generous portion of the Karnataka hijab controversy.

That’s the cocktail the BJP is serving in Uttar Pradesh to arrest the dent in its vote bank.

“The Yogi Adityanath government has added salt, ghee and gram to the 5kg free rations of late. It has been distributing the food grains twice a month now among below-poverty-line families through the public distribution system,” Havendra Pal Singh Gangwar said at Agras.

“This apart, there’s the Rs 6,000 annual cash dole the Centre is paying in three instalments to (small and marginalised) farmers.”

Agras, a village of 5,700 voters, is in Meerganj Assembly constituency, one of the 55 in western Uttar Pradesh that will vote in the second phase on February 14.

Nine of these seats lie in Ruhelkhand, whose principal town Bareilly is known for its jhumkas (bell-shaped earrings) — an association immortalised by Asha Bhosle’s song “Jhumka gira re, Bareilly ke bazaar mein” in the 1966 film Mera Saaya.

Agras presents a microcosm of the demography of Ruhelkhand, where the BJP won from all the nine Assembly constituencies in 2017, bolstered by support from across the Dalit and OBC communities.
