I am uploading this Video (Edited) to remind in 2014 people of India voted him against corruption and corrupt practice of the Congress Government, but promoting Horse Trading in Goa and Manipur and alleged restoring EVM fraud to win Uttar Pradesh he has broken all the aspirations and belief of 125 crore people.

Critical analysis of Narendra Modi’s UP Win: Survival of the Fittest
After the spectacular Winning Streak of Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) in the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand Our Prime Minister Narendra
Modi Twitted by congratulating the voters and incessant workers. Reacting to
the twit I have written “Fate prevails everywhere, neither Force of work nor
the high education, but congrats for your win.”
My observation must draw severe criticism and might be doing
injustice to the noble workers who worked for the Narendra Modi without any
want of favour, but I’m right in my view in one point, as it is purely to
understand the conducive environment on which Narendra Modi or BJP has least
role.
BJP won 312 seats excluding its ally like Apana Dal out of
403 assembly seats. Similarly in Uttarkhand it won with thumping majority of 57
seats out of 70 seats. This winning is unprecedented and even unexpected (!)
for BJP itself. All the exit poll
predictions went wrong, All psephologist miscalculated the caste and religion
oriented vote base. Although, it is not a big deal for BJP to win in Uttar
Pradesh as it has satisfactory presence since last 40 years since the party’s
inception. It also seized power three times (for 6 years) Kalyan Singh became
CM two times (June 1991- Dec 1992 & September 1997 to November 1999) and
Rajnath Singh for one time (October 2000 to March 2002). In the 2014 General
Election BJP won 71 MP seats out of 80. But the Point of Discussion is, the
Collapse of caste and religion based electoral and Whopping majority to a
religious agenda based party in Uttar Pradesh (Amazingly Even after opposition
from Rajnath Singh, Sahanwaj Hussain etc Modi and Amit Saha did not give a
single ticket to a Muslim Candidate). How
and Why BJP got such big mandate? We will analysis thoroughly the possible
answers but before that it is relevant to throw some light on the Saffron surge
in India.
Until now BJP has its chief minister in 11 states- Arunachal
Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Gujarat, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya
Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and with allies it enjoying
power in another Four states- Andhra Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Sikkim and
Nagaland out of 29 states.
In 2014 general election BJP led NDA got absolute majority
282 seats excluding its allies (total 336). It got 171,660,230 popular votes
which is 31.34% of the total votes polled. If we take the popular votes and
percentage with 1999 general election which is another biggest achievement of
the BJP, (as this is the first time in India where a non congress government
lasts full five year term) in 1999 BJP led NDA won 254 seats out of BJP won 182
seats but the popular votes were 135,103,344 which is 37.06% of the total votes
polled. If we compare between 1998 general election and 2014 in a nutshell, the
impressive presence of the left parties and political inclination towards
regional parties were clearly visible. It was the golden era of regional
parties.
But now things has been changed, left parties lost their grip
over Indian voters except Kerala and shrinking of vote base of regional
parties. 2014 is a political transition period.
The period between 2009 and 2014 is the last phase of the
electoral system, which has been continued since 1952. The voters are from new
generations, less influenced by the independence struggle but more to create
their own new identity. Since 2004, many Socio-psychological factors reshaped
the Political Scenario. Growing literacy and lack of employment opportunities
in both Government and Private sector people created their own opportunities.
For this they wanted a less hassle free system which free from corruption and
more space for economic independence which previous government failed to
answer. The Demonetisation has given the best answer to it at least
theoretically. More poor and middle class People perceived that this will
rearrange the past economic system where they had been deprived from the
opportunities. This is a blessing of disguise for Narendra Modi Government.
Nationalism and abhorrence to alien inhabitants are other aspects of this
‘Economic Independency’.
Some Noted Journalists like Rajdeep Sardesai and Pallavi
Ghosh pointed out the BJP’s Campaign through the Ujala Scheme much before the election.
Some Pointed out the BJP’s Support to abolish Tripple Talaq and subsequently
Muslim women support to it. Just Before the UP election RSS again tossed its
anti reservation agenda, but it couldn’t hold the ground where 60% population are
under this reservation benefit. BSP’s Supremo Mayawati wanted to take this
issue forward but unlike Bihar election miraculously it died before gaining Political
momentum.
Lets a close look of the caste wise division of voters in UP,
22% are from forward castes, 40% from OBC (including 18% Muslim) and 21.3%
Dalits (SC/STs). Even after this, Most of the BJP candidates won with more than
15 thousand votes than their nearest candidate.
Besides this, there was image tarnishing issues against BJP
as anti liberty, anti secular, hardcore Hindutwa agenda, Hooliganism in
Educational institutes particularly in and around the Uttar Pradesh. But BJP
saved from the onslaught putting forth the Nationalist agenda. Even Narendra
Modi and his team until now except publicity have not done anything to solve
the real nationalism issues.
The linking of terrorism to a particular religion is always
the voice of BJP’s frontal organisation. The Lucknow Thakurganj encounter,
Accquital of Swami Assemananda in Ajmer Dargha Blast case, Madhya Pradesh Train
accident, etc might be created havoc for BJP, but it has little impact on the
BJP’s Image.
The Political environment in the neighbouring states Except
Bihar and Delhi all are under BJPs rule. This created a positive vibes among
the voters. Bihar, where BJP lost assembly election might influence some on the
northern parts but couldn’t happen. RLD’s
Lalu Yadav campaigned against BJP, but Nitish Kumar remained silent or more
less supported the BJP through his endorsement for Demonetisation.
In the 2014 general election BJP got 42.3% vote share, while
SP 22.2%, BSP 20% and Congress with 7.5 percent vote share. It was believed
that there was no anti-incumbency against SP’s Akhilesh Yadav. But the family
feud cost him dear more than garnish his image. SP Believed that for the
winning in assembly election one has to get 31% vote, if it joined hand with
Congress both will get almost same vote share. It is the point where most of us
including I failed to understand. BJP’s Vote share remained intact.
The Gathbandhan strategy was not properly calculated and even
overly estimated. In the 11th March Akhilesh Yadav around 10 am said
he has no hesitation to go for alliance with BSP to defeat BJP. But this should
be planned before. If we count the vote share this will be clearly understood. In
2017 assembly election BJP and its allies begged 34,403,039 popular votes which
is 39.7% vote share. Similarly SP+Congress’s popular vote is 18,923,689 (21.8%)
and BSP’s 19,281,352 (22.2%)
Infrastructural development like express Highway not able to
allure voters who were reeling under the 20 years misrule of BSP and SP, no
improvement in the internal infrastructure like roads, school, Hospitals etc.
Under current against SP and in favour of BJP is never be
materialised without the active support of Government Officers especially in
law order situation and election management. They supported BJP alike the
active Karyakartas of BJP and RSS.
The alleged EVM fraud is only a small part which contributed
for the BJP’s Victory the other things which helped is the skilful management
of the situation. It was clearly visible soon after the 4 phase election all
the major national media supported the BJP and campaigned for it.
