The countdown for the 2027 election battle in UP has started. BJP has prepared the blueprint of Mission 2027. Amit Shah will sound the election bugle from Braj division and Bundelkhand division in the coming days. This time the Home Minister will visit all the 6 regions and this time the biggest parameter of the ticket will be – guaranteed victory!
But BJP The challenges before it are no less. Controversy over alleged theft in Ram temple offerings, lost seats in 2022 and the setback of 2024 Lok Sabha elections, in such a situation, Shah’s strategy is clear – he has to save the seats and also bring back the lost seats.
The battle for 2027 on 403 seats of UP and BJP has already started the election calculation of seats. In 2022, BJP contested 376 seats and won 255 seats, that is, the party had to face defeat on 121 seats, while the BJP alliance won a total of 273 seats.
Win-loss difference on 49 seats is less than 5000 votes
Now the difference between victory and defeat of these lost seats is being calculated. In 2022, the difference between victory and defeat on 49 seats was less than 5 thousand votes, which means the party is believing that the difference between victory and defeat on some seats can be changed by the performance of the organization, booth and candidate. BJP is confident of victory.
Not only this, now BJP has prepared to make a strategy by dividing the seats into different categories.
A category—Those seats where BJP has been winning in the last three elections.
B category-Where the party won by a small margin.
C category-Where the party is losing by a small margin for two consecutive times.
And separate for the hardest seats D category Focus of. These are the seats which are the traditional strongholds of SP-Congress. That means, different strategy, different organization and different electoral face for each seat.
BJP’s special focus on 61 seats
Special focus in BJP’s mission is also on those 61 seats. Where the party could not register victory even once in the last three assembly elections—2012, 2017 and 2022. Here booth feedback, caste equation, beneficiary contact and survey of potential candidates, everything will be done afresh.
Amit Shah has been the Chanakya of Uttar Pradesh victory in the last two elections. With this, BJP leaders also have full hope of a third victory. A big churning has started in BJP regarding the ticket also. According to sources, the complete election records of leaders who have contested three or more elections are being scrutinized.
By how many votes did you lose last time, what was the margin of victory and defeat, how was your performance at your booth? How much hold is there in the organization? This means that now just being an old face does not guarantee a ticket, if the chances of winning become weak then the ticket can be cut short.
Ram temple offering theft is a challenge for BJP
BJP faces another challenge – Ayodhya’s Ram temple offering controversy. There have been investigations, arrests and major organizational changes in the Trust in the case of alleged theft of donations and offerings. The Trust has started the process of creating the post of CEO and making changes at the top level. Ram Temple has been the center of BJP’s biggest ideological identity, hence the offering controversy has become a challenge for the party at both emotional and political levels before 2027.
On the other hand, Akhilesh Yadav is also not behind. SP Chief is soon preparing to reach among the public through Rath Yatra, that is, on one hand, Amit Shah – 6 region seat wise report and the winning formula of the ticket, on the other hand, Akhilesh – direct public relations with Rath Yatra and PDA – Samajwadi Party is in the mood to publicize offering theft as a stigma on the Yogi government. At the same time, Congress has also intensified its preparations in the area.
In UP, Mission 2027 is no longer just an election slogan but has become a seat-wise operation. There is a challenge before BJP. The account of 121 lost seats, the mission of 61 difficult seats, the close margin of defeat in 2022 and the impact of the Ram Temple offering controversy and amidst all this, Amit Shah’s message is clear. The ticket in 2027 will not be given on the basis of old relations, but only on the ability to win!
