Akhilesh may become the messiah of Dalits, why did Mayawati give free hand to Akash?

Akhilesh Yadav Vs Mayawati : This time in the Lok Sabha elections 2024, the Bahujan Samaj Party did not open its account in UP, while the Samajwadi Party cycle ran well. In such a situation, now the question arises whether Akhilesh Yadav is emerging as the messiah of Dalits. Because of this, Mayawati gave free hand to her nephew Akash.

UP Politics : Uttar Pradesh, which has the largest population and political area in the country, has told in this Lok Sabha election that UP now demands work and not just talks. This is the same state where PM Modi’s constituency is Banaras, where the axis of religion is politics revolving around Ayodhya, where Mathura city gives the message of connecting the world with karma pradhan. A state where the master bulldozer baba Yogi Adityanath, who runs the government, is himself the Chief Minister. Despite all this being positive, this time the BJP has suffered a historic defeat or it can be said that the entire Narendra Modi government is also on the backfoot in the Lok Sabha elections 2024. Akhilesh established himself as a Dalit leader

PM Modi, who used to speak his Mann ki Baat throughout his tenure from 2014 to 2024, was also forced to call everyone and give an interview. In every phase of the entire Lok Sabha elections, whenever voting took place in UP, it kept the BJP’s heartbeat high. The entire credit for this goes to the aspirations of the Dalits being shattered by Akhilesh Yadav’s PDA and BSP. In which Akhilesh Yadav has established himself as a vocal Dalit leader or it can be said that now the Dalit voter is also seeing him as their messiah. Whereas BSP supremo Mayawati was also worried about the second phase of elections that the Dalits might consider Akhilesh Yadav as their messiah.

Dalits expressed trust in the SP supremo

In the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, the upper castes angry with the BJP and the Dalits angry with Mayawati showed trust in Akhilesh Yadav. The most special thing in this is that from the second phase of the elections, Akhilesh Yadav started giving the slogan of Save Constitution. During the same time, Rahul Gandhi said in every rally that BJP wants to end reservation, that is why it is giving the slogan of crossing 400.

BSP did not get Dalit votes

Just before the third and fourth phase, in Bundelkhand along with Central UP, Akhilesh Yadav directly named Mayawati and called her BJP’s Plan B. He also said that voting for her means direct benefit to BJP and end of reservation. The Dalits who had supported BSP till now and whose 19 percent vote was fixed, on the basis of which Mayawati used to sell every ticket of her party for crores of rupees, started slipping away.

Mayawati’s nephew targeted BJP

In the fourth phase of elections itself, Mayawati gave a free hand to her nephew Akash and fielded him, but instead of countering Akhilesh Yadav, Akash compared the BJP government to the Talibani government and started calling Yogi Adityanath the Chief Minister of a terrorist government. This made Mayawati angry and Dalits with Hindutva ideology also distanced themselves from BSP. Whereas the Muslim community did not vote for the BSP candidates fielded to counter on Muslim seats because Mayawati was insisting on keeping Muslim voters away from SP and Congress instead of BJP.

Dalits are angry with Akash’s act

While Hindu Dalits got angry with Akash’s childish act and started distancing themselves from BSP, the hardcore Dalit class completely moved towards Samajwadi Party over reservation. In other words, the Dalit votes that Mayawati’s party BSP used to get in bulk, now started going directly to Samajwadi Party. During the same time, Mayawati got angry and released her nephew Akash from the post of successor and issued an order not to participate in the elections, due to which some percentage of Dalits who had started considering Akash as their leader also got separated from BSP.

SP won 37 seats

On one hand, while Mayawati’s seats increased after fighting the 2019 Lok Sabha elections together with SP and BSP, a decrease was seen in SP’s vote percentage. While this time SP contested the election in alliance with Congress, BSP was out on zero whereas SP got a historic 37 seats. At the same time, Congress which was running at zero also got 6 seats.
