For political parties that matter, Uttar Pradesh does matter in every way for it holds the key to power at the centre. UP provides the highest number of Lok Sabha seats at 80. Any political party wanting to make a serious try for power has to first make its imprint in the 403- member state assembly. For the BJP, the 2022 Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh is most crucial as that itself will serve as an indicator of whether the party with prime minister Narendra Modi at the helm, can turn around the fortunes of the party. Incidentally, prime minister Modi migrated from Gujarat and adopted Uttar Pradesh as his home state and contested from Varanasi and won handsomely in 2014. UP was ripe for the picking and Modi led from the front in 2014 when he stood from Varanasi to win big from UP and other states like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat etc. Earlier in 2012, the BJP had won 28 seats to the Samajwadi Party’s 224 and BSP’s 80 in the assembly elections. In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP won impressively bagging 71 out of 80 seats and no other party could cross the 5-mark. This was reflected in the 2017 assembly elections when BJP overtook all other parties by winning 312 of the 403 seats in the UP assembly. The SP could manage only 47 seats. However in 2019, the BJP could not retain the 71 seats it won in 2014 when the party bagged 62, the BSP 10, SP 5 and Congress 1. With just a few months left for the crucial UP polls, the state will see the launch of several mega projects, some of which will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The series of projects will be launched in the months of November and December ahead of the polls due next year. Among the mega project is the Noida International Airport at Jewar Uttar Pradesh. Jewar , when fully completed will be Asia’s biggest airport. It is the fifth international airport is to come up in NOIDA in the National Capital Region (NCR). The phase-1 of the airport will have a capacity to serve 12 million passengers a year and is scheduled to be completed in 36 months. Prior to Modi, UP had only two international airports – Lucknow and Varanasi – till 2012. The third international airport at Kushinagar became operational after it was inaugurated by Modi on October 20, while work on the airport in Ayodhya is on in full swing and air services are expected to start early next year. Besides the Noida international airport, Modi also inaugurated Film City and Ganga Expressway. He will also inaugurate Gorakhpur’s closed fertilizer factory and Gorakhpur AIIMS will also start by next month. Modi also inaugurated the 340.8 km Rs.22,500 crore Purvanchal Expressway which also has a 3.2 km air strip to be used during emergency. Modi is also to launch the National Cadet Corps Alumni Association of which he would be the first member. He would launch 100 new co- educational Sainik Schools as well. He had also earlier, inaugurated the Rs. 400 crore unit for propulsion system of anti-tank guided missiles under the UP defence corridor in Jhansi is part of the projects that would be launched besides Rs. 6300 crore worth of projects in the Bundelkhand region. Modi and the BJP are leaving nothing to chance in order to retain UP and also win huge in 2024. It remains to be seen if voters in UP will vote for Adityanath or Akhilesh in 2022 and Modi or others in 2024.?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
