(Deepshikha Gautam, Intern Journalist) Lucknow: In the by-elections held in seven assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday, the voter turnout has increased due to a low percentage of voting. Looking at the trends of the voters, there are situations like a direct competition or a multi-cornered contest. One reason for the lack of enthusiasm among voters is also the fear of the Corona transition, but claims of their own rise are being made by the major parties concerned about the election results due to reduced voting.
Compared to the 2017 general elections in Uttar Pradesh, ten percent less voting also raises many questions. Voters who polled more than 76 percent of the last election in Naogaon Sadat seat of Amroha district, polled only 61.50 percent votes in the by-election. There is uneasiness in both the Bhartiya Janata Party and Samajwadi Party camps due to low votes. However, the Bahujan Samaj Party was seen telling the triangle of the contest on this seat. In the Bulandshahar seat, the RLD SP candidate also tried to infiltrate in the fight between BJP and BSP. Here the Bhim Army’s political wing Azad Samaj Party’s performance is being watched.
The Tundla seat saw low turnout from the last election, but the result of the triangular clash of BJP SP and BSP here will be determined by the deterioration in the caste equation. It is difficult to say who will spoil the math of former Congress MP Annu Tandon by changing the face of the SP’s bicycle on the day before polling in Bangarmau seat of Unnao district. However, the BJP is expecting a miracle of 2017 here. It will be known later how much the rebel relentless candidates create in the way of BJP in Deoria’s seat. However, there was a fierce contest between the SP BJP here.
The question of who will be the successor of former minister late Kamal Rani Varun on the Ghatampur seat has been entangled by the scattering of votes. Apart from BJP, SP, and BSP, Congress is also showing its strong position here. This time, the Samajwadi Party has made a lot of effort to save Malhani’s seat. There is not much drop in vote percentage here, but it has to be seen in whose favor the division of caste votes will be done.
