UP: Modi touched the hearts of Sikhs by bowing in Gurudwara, faith in upper castes…hope from backward, Dalits and minorities.

Kanpur: The road show started with Aarti by Sant Samaj, then by showing the scene of Shri Ram worship through dance, a glimpse of Ram temple and Kashi Vishwanath through Shiv Garjan dance, an effort can be said to keep this large section connected with the main theme of the party. Can. An effort is also made to reduce the feeling of neglect prevailing in the minds of the upper castes.

There are three things which have worked wonders for BJP since 2014. One is the weight of the name Narendra Modi, second is his speeches which directly touch the people and third is the magic of his presence. The party has the same hope this time too. Even though his road show in Kanpur city in the Lok Sabha elections 2024 was only 1200 meters long, the impact of his gestures will spread far beyond the two Lok Sabha constituencies of the district. This is fixed.
The way he paid obeisance at the prestigious Gurudwara of the city before the road show, its message will reach 700 km away Punjab and 535 km away Haryana, where further voting is to be held. Talking about the district, PM’s presence for two hours will consolidate cadre votes in both Kanpur Nagar and Akbarpur seats and attract neutral voters. It will instill enthusiasm among the workers and will give a clear message to other leaders who are in the dark and are contending for tickets.
This is also necessary. This time the challenge is tough at both the places. By calling former MP Satyadev Pachauri to the airport and later keeping him with him in the chariot, Modi made it clear that remaining united is the last option. The way BJP strategists divided the audience into 37 blocks in this road show, they were not blocks but target voters. Let us start with the caste based block. In this, separate places were reserved for SC, ST and backward classes, while by giving separate attention to the Nishads belonging to the backward classes, they touched their organized vote bank in the city situated on the banks of Ganga.
Muslims have traditionally voted for Congress-SP
Block was given only to women in Muslim category. After abolishing triple talaq, BJP feels that a large number of Muslim women are sympathetic to the party, which can prove to be a hidden vote bank. There are about 16 percent Muslims in Kanpur Urban seat and they have traditionally voted for Congress-SP. Even the slightest dent in this will give mileage to the party. Similarly, there is 18 percent Dalit vote bank in the city and around 24 percent in Akbarpur seat, which supports BJP in good numbers in the Lok Sabha.
The upper castes are mainly voting for BJP on both the seats.
Therefore took care of backward people and Dalits. At the same time, Modi’s prayer at Gumti Number 5 Gurudwara Sahib can help in bringing more than 1 lakh 40 thousand Sikhs to the polling booth in large numbers. In fact, both the seats are dominated by the upper castes, that is why both the parties fielded Brahmin candidates in the city and in Akbarpur, BJP fielded the Thakur candidate. Apparently, the upper castes in both the seats have been predominantly voting for BJP for a long time.
Attempt to show ethnic gymnastics
In the road show, starting with Aarti by Sant Samaj, then showing the scene of Shri Ram worship through dance, Ram temple and glimpse of Kashi Vishwanath through Shiv Garjan dance, it can be said to be an attempt to keep this large section connected with the main theme of the party. . An effort is also made to reduce the feeling of neglect prevailing in the minds of the upper castes. The Congress-SP alliance has tried to show caste gymnastics by giving ticket to a backward caste candidate in Akbarpur. Modi effect will be effective here too, but only time will tell to what extent.
Life breathed into Modi Party’s election campaign
Kanpur is an industrial city. Here the workers, businessmen and the system based on them cannot be forgotten. Therefore, in the profession-based block, along with farmers, entrepreneurs, businessmen and professionals got separate importance. Giving separate space to sportspersons, first-time voters and youth was basically an attempt to woo young voters. Women section should be addressed separately so that women upliftment programs can be taken advantage of. Overall, life was breathed into the election campaign of Modi Party. Now all we have to do is wait for the decision of the voters i.e. the destiny maker of the country on 13th May.
