‘No Yadav Belt, No Govt’: Here’s Why Akhilesh Yadav’s SP Could Not Snatch UP From BJP

To win back Uttar Pradesh, the Samajwadi (SP) was needed to first reclaim ‘Yadav Belt’, his essence from Badaun to Kannauj.

However, in this 35 seats, which by the way the representative of the overall SP power in the state, the LED Party Akhilesh Yadav failed to make a big step in 2022.

For example: SP has won 29 of the 35 seats in 2012, when storming in power with 224 seats in Uttar Pradesh. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) then only gets one chair. But in 2017, when the wave of PM Narendra Modi-LED from 325 seats brought the BJP alliance to power, BJP revoke the SP from his fort with a reversal of the role and won 29 seats here, reducing SP to only six seats. This time, BJP has managed to keep a low loss here, still win 23 seats, while SP can only take the calculation to 12 seats, far from a clean sweep.

HIS Uncle, Shivpal Singh Yadav, Contested Again From Jaswantnagar Seat in Etawah District, Ensuring That The Top Two Leaders of the SP Were Fighting from the Adjoining Seats in the ‘Yadav Belt’, IN Contrast to the 2017 Situation When Both Were at Loggerheads and Party pays the price in this belt.

Patch-ups with shivpal now do not seem to work magically, because shivpal makes public helpless because it is only given a seat (hers) to oppose the request of 35 higher seats.

In 2017, the SP won the Kannauj City seat, which was also taken by BJP this time with IPS-Turn-Neta Arun candidate.

The only ‘Yadav Belt’ district where SP makes a variety of comebacks is BADAUN, where it won four of the seven seats today, only on one in 2017 and five seats in 2012.

SP can pull back two seats from BJP in the Firozabad district of the four-seat clean sweep here by BJP in 2017 and SP also managed to reclaim two seats in Auriya Regency from BJP.
