BJP has lost the election on Faizabad seat. The party’s candidate Lallu Singh missed a hat-trick. SP’s Avdhesh Prasad defeated him. He was the candidate of India Alliance. SP was successful in winning this election by about 55 thousand votes. There was a discussion in the political circles about how BJP lost the election on the seat of Ram Mandir.
This time Samajwadi Party’s PDA (Backward-Dalit-Minority) card prevailed over BJP’s Ram Mandir card. The internal polarization from city to village foiled every move of BJP and the cycle dominated in every area. As a result, SP was successful in breaking down BJP’s saffron fort.
Samajwadi Party surprised everyone by playing the Dalit card on a general seat. Awadhesh Prasad, who is considered a staunch socialist as well as a master of politics, was completely focused on the theme of PDA. He continued with this theme and internally he made a strong election. He neither made any noise nor did he show off. He did not even seem interested in getting the road show programs scheduled. In such a situation, the BJP members were not even allowed to guess about such a strong election.
Here, after the construction of Ram Mandir, the BJP camp was confident of winning with the help of Ram. There was hope of getting votes on the basis of faith. Many innovative experiments were also done to heat it up. Top leaders were also made to do Ganesh Parikrama, but not a single trick of BJP worked in front of SP’s PDA card.
Focus remained on Dalit and backward areas
During public relations, SP kept building its base in Dalit and backward areas. It kept churning the voters, the result of which came out on Tuesday. Avdhesh was successful in crossing the electoral river by securing the votes of Dalits and other backward castes along with the core votes of SP. Along with this, he also proved the decision of the top leadership to play the Dalit card to be meaningful.
Awadhesh remained steadfast at the counting place wearing a garland
Avdhesh Prasad was full of confidence since morning. He reached the counting venue wearing the garland that he had worn during his visit to Hanumangarhi and Panchmukhi Mahadev and he wore the same garland throughout. When someone questioned him, he replied with confidence that this is the garland of victory, which God himself has sent him wearing.
