A state where relatively minor changes in vote shares typically trans- lates into huge shifts in seats saw the BJP decisively sweep West UP, Bundelkhand, Central UP and East UP almost equally. While the BJP won 107 of 136 in West UP, it swept all 19 seats in Bundelkhand, 64 seats in Central UP and over 100 seats in East UP. West UP, which comprises 136 seats, and is traditionally regard- ed as BSP’s stronghold saw its fortress invaded despite playing the trusty Dalit-Muslim card and fielding a historic 99 muslim can- didates. While Agra, ‘behenji’s most densely populated Dalit belt crumbled completely in the BJP wave, BSP has managed to hold on to only three seats in West UP- Dhaulana, RLD stronghold of Mant, and Sadabad in Hath- ras. The SP, which has tradition- ally been weak in this region, has also been further decimated. The SP, on the other hand, was hop- ing to ride Congress’ coat-tails to victory in West UP. With Imran Masood as their chief strategist, the party won only two seats, Behat and Saharanpur, but lost Masood’s own Nakur to BJP. The collective rout of the BSP and the SP-Congress alli- ance also spread to the other re- gions. In Bundelkhand, another SP-BSP bastion, the Samajwadi Party was hoping to register a win on the back of chief minis- ter Akhilesh Yadav’s ghee balm -- the Bundelkhand food packets to drought-hit farmers. None of the sops worked, though, and even though the opposition tried to drum up controversy over the empty water train that chugged into UP some months ago, it’s the SP and the BSP that have had to return empty handed from the Bundelkhand belt. In Central UP Lucknow re- gion, where Akhilesh won a his- toric mandate the state capital when he first stormed into UP assembly in 2012, the SP and BSP have been rooted out completely. The Congress too has been rout- ed in Amethi, but gained two in Rae Bareli, handing over six as- sembly segments in the Gandhi bastion to the BJP for the first time. While the BJP remained in a contest on almost all con- stituencies in UP, Gauriganj in Amethi was the only exception to the rule. Here, Union minister Smriti Irani pick Uma Shankar Pandey ended in the fourth place after a massive rebellion within the BJP. This was triggered by Irani’s decision to elbow out RSS oldtimer Tejbhan Singh in order to accommodate Pandey in the ticket distribution. The BJP’s loss, though, has been SP’s gain in Gauriganj and neighbouring Unchahar. The BJP march has also invaded the SP strongold of Kannauj. Here, the SP could only retain one of five seats. Etawah and Mainpuri, too, have not re- mained impregnable fortresses of the SP. if only symbolically, the BJP won the Etawah seat de- feating the SP candidate by over 19,000 votes. Last, but not the least, was the East UP region, which Akhilesh had swept al- most entirely in 2012. This time, this belt stands nearly saffron- ised, with the Congress wiped out in all but one seat in Kushi- nagar’s Tamkuhi Raj, and all constituencies barring one in Mulayam Singh’s Azamgarh. As has been the case in previ- ous elections, small caste shifts appear to have swung the votes in favour of the BJP. While the regional staraps have retained their vote shares -- BSP is 22.2% and SP 21.8% -- the Congress has ended with a 6.2% voteshare. In comparison, the BJP has won a whopping 39.7% vote share in UP. In 2007, BSP won just over 30% votes, and SP a little over 26%. BJP had 17%, while Con- gress about 8.5%. Five years later SP raised its tally by barely 3 per- centage points. Its tally of seats went from 97 to 224. BSP’s vote share in 2012 was four-and-a-half percentage points lower than in 2007. Its seats crashed from 206 to 80. Fast forward two years to 2014 Lok Sabha elections and the scenario had changed dramati- cally. The BJP's vote share of 42.6% was enough to give it 71 of the state's 80 seats. That's almost 90% of seats. BJP’s 312 out of 403 meant it led in more than eight out of every 10 segments.The SP was reduced to just 42 assembly segment leads and the BSP to a dismal nine leads. 2012 Dance Of Democracy 2017 UTTAR PRADESH ASSEMBLY POLLS 10 SUNDAY TIMES OF INDIA, LUCKNOW MARCH 12, 2017 BJP+ SP BSP Cong RLD Others The UP map was tiled red all over in the 2012 assembly elections with Samajwadi Party winning an unprecedented mandate.
