With the sixth and seventh phases of Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls scheduled to be held on March 3 and March 7 respectively, political parties have shifted their focus on the last two phases in Uttar Pradesh and the second and last phase in Manipur. While senior BJP leaders including PM Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh and party chief JP Nadda are campaigning for the party, Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are leading the Congress campaign. For Samajwadi Party, Akhilesh Yadav and Mulayam Singh Yadav will campaign in Uttar Pradesh.
Voters’ turnout in almost two-thirds of the assembly seats during five rounds of polling in Uttar Pradesh is more or less the same as in the 2017 polls, leaving political parties and experts guessing whether it’s pro-incumbency or anti-incumbency votes. A look at the voters’ turnout in the 2019 general elections in the state also doesn’t reflect much of a difference. While some attribute it to coronavirus, others say voters have tested all the parties in the polls and hence are not enthused by new poll promises made by the competing parties.
