Uttar Pradesh

Following the conclusion of the third round of polls on Sunday, the fourth phase of elections in Uttar Pradesh is ready to commence. Some Avadh seats, notably Ayodhya, are thought to be very significant in this election since they are home to numerous experienced leaders who are competing for their seats. On February 23, voters will be asked to choose among 60 seats divided over nine districts in the fourth round of the election. In this round, a total of 624 applicants are competing for the position.

Everyone, including political parties and individuals, is making preparations for the fourth round of voting. On February 23, voting stations will be set up in nine districts, including Lucknow, as part of the 2018 assembly elections' fourth phase. The BJP had fought a fierce campaign in this region during the last election and emerged victoriously. The fourth round of voting will put candidates, as well as a number of central government ministries, to the test. Four ministers from the governing Modi administration have traveled to the capital from the regions where voting is taking place during this round of the election.

The Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh, represents the Lucknow parliamentary seat and is the biggest leader. The other name is Smriti Irani, the Minister for Women and Force Development, whose parliamentary seat in Amethi is earlier known as Congress's favorite seat. In addition, senior leader Mohanlalganj MP Kaushal Kishore, as well as Lakhimpur MP and Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay Mishra Teni, will be up for election in the fourth phase of the election process.

There are a total of 21 seats available in these four sections of the assembly. As a result, they are going through nothing short of ordeals. Even though the battle of words in this year's assembly elections was won by the BJP and Akhilesh, the BSP factor cannot be underestimated in the fourth phase because the BSP has a significant vote bank in the region of Avadh, which is where the election is being held. This time around, BSP voters are regarded to be deafeningly quiet. The BJP has kicked things off with its lucky charm, the Ram Mandir in Agra. By the way, wherever the elections are held, the subject of the Ram temple remains a perennial topic in Indian politics, but when the polls are held in Avadh, the volume of this issue is amplified even more.

The Ram Mandir serves as the cornerstone for the BJP's historical achievements. Construction of a magnificent Ram temple has also begun in the state at this time, and the BJP has stepped up its use of the Ram Naam campaign slogan ahead of the polls in Avadh this year. There are a total of 21 districts in Avadh alone, with a total of 118 seats coming under their jurisdiction. Political parties are putting up tremendous effort to win these seats. The objective in these seats is to surpass the BJP and gain ground on the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) (BSP). The following are the two phases of the backward elections in which the BJP achieved a record victory for the party. In both of these elections, the BJP had won 99 seats.

Looking at the results of the last two assembly elections in this region, it can be seen that the attitude of the wind has a significant impact on the elections here, and the party that wins the elections in the Awadh region goes on to form its own government in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Speaking about the 2017 assembly elections results, the BJP won 93 seats while the Samajwadi Party won nine seats, according to the results. As a result of this, Congress had only lost three seats, while the BSP had eight seats in its possession. Five seats had been allocated from this region in the other's share as well. The fact that no major political party has come together to form an alliance this election season means that each party is demonstrating a distinct strength from one another.

In the Avadh area, the BJP won 50 seats in the 2014 election, according to the latest available data. In Lucknow, the BJP made a new record by capturing eight seats, a first for the party. The SP received four seats in this district, the BSP received two seats, the Congress received two seats, and the Apna Dal received one seat. The BJP gained all five bars in Balrampur, Ayodhya, as well as all seven seats in Gonda, both of which are in the state of Uttar Pradesh. For the BJP, the most important challenge is to demonstrate its old clout in these districts once more in order to avert the Vikas rath against the SP and Congress.
