 Ayodhya, Despite Being The Epicenter Of Mandir Politics Has Had Mixed Results-TeluguStop.com

Despite being at the heart of Hindutva politics the city has chosen to elect candidates from other parties, rather than elect BJP-centric candidates.Since 1991, the BJP has been dominating the Assembly poll results from here, but on the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat all the three major parties in Uttar Pradesh — the BJP, SP and the Congress — have registered their wins in different elections.

The centre of the Mandir politics, BJP has had an edge here, but the party has not always been the winner from here.Experts believe that caste politics play a significant role in this seat.

Since the emergence of the Modi brand of politics things may have changed, but Ayodhya has been continuing to elect representatives from different parties.

Since 1991, the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat, which has Ayodhya in it, has given mixed results in the Upper House polls — with 1991, 1996 and 1999 elections won by the BJP.The seat was won by the Samajwadi Party in 1998 and 2004.The Congress won the seat in 2009.

In 2014 and 2019, the BJP won again.Regarding the Assembly constituency, the results have been much different with the BJP winning many times and the SP capturing the seat in 2012.

Ayodhya has been at the centre of politics since 1991 as the BJP formed the government in Uttar Pradesh in 1991.After the destruction of Babri’s structure, the Kalyan Singh government was discredited and the SP patriarch Mulayam Sing Yadav formed a government with the support of BSP.Soon Mayawati resigned and formed the government of the state with the help of the BJP.The BJP was in power from 1997 to 2002.However, Mayawati took over and Mulayam Singh, who later became the head of the government, returned to power in 2003 to 2007.The BSP formed the government in 2007 and the SP was voted to power in 2012.

In 2017, the BJP won the election.The BJP will be going for the polls again in 2022, but this time may face the incumbency factor.

To save the government the BJP has got a tough challenge as the Samajwadi party is giving the incumbent Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath sleepless nights, but the issue of Ayodhya can again catapult the party to power as the construction of the temple is in full swing.

The Congress has been out of power in the state since 1989 and it is almost 30 years that it has not been able to form a government in the state.

It won 23 seats in Lok Sabha in 2009 but was unable to repeat that feat in 2012 Assembly elections.In 2019, it was reduced to one parliamentary seat.

After the temple movement began, the Congress, which had upper caste, minorities and the Scheduled Castes (SC) as its base votes, saw an erosion in its vote base, which got divided three ways with the SP dominating the minority, upper caste with the BJP and the SC with BSP.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has been trying to carve a new political chapter for the Congress without alienating the Hindutva votes and also raking the issues of the NRC, CAA to dent into Akhilesh Yadav’s support base.But the battle in Uttar Pradesh seems to be between BJP and SP this time.
