In just a few days, UP assembly election 2017 will take place in seven phases. These are the biggest elections of this year because of the importance of Uttar Pradesh in Indian politics. Today, the BJP is in power with full majority is only due to UP because they won more than 70 Loksabha seats out of 80. Therefore, every political party wants to occupy UP so that they can increase their chances in the 2019 Loksabha elections. The main fight in UP is between BJP, SP+Congress alliance and BSP. Last time, SP won the UP elections on its own and ruled the state for 5 years. This time BJP wants to repeat its 2014 success in Loksabha election; however, with so many challenges, it is not going to be an easy fight for BJP.
Last month, the family drama of Samajwadi Party remained in the limelight and it was assumed that Samajwadi Party may split; however, most of things have gone in the favor of Akilash Yadav present CM of UP. To increase its chances in the election, SP has formed alliance with Congress, which enjoy a good base across UP. Therefore, SP is confident of winning 2017 election again. On the other hand, BJP relies on the Hindu vote bank to mark another success in UP election and BSP looks for combination of Muslim and Dalit voters to win the UP election. Every political party has its own strategies for this election, but we will get the real picture only after 11 March.
