Uttar Pradesh

After the campaigning for the first phase of elections in 58 assembly constituencies spread across 11 districts in western Uttar Pradesh came to a halt, voters began deliberating on the promises made by various political parties before casting their ballots to determine whether or not they can be fulfilled before casting their votes.

Most of the parties offered such enticing promises that people were perplexed throughout the election campaign, but as soon as the election campaign was done, they started to fear that they would be ruining the wrong party or candidate by voting for them. A scenario like this has resulted in voters being actively involved in making ideological decisions by acting completely at their discretion. They may then vote for the same candidate on Thursday, who will effectively represent them in the assembly by becoming their voice, as opposed to voting for a different candidate on Thursday.

According to locals in Meerut, Baghpat, Bulandshahr, Ghaziabad, Gautam Budh Nagar, and Hapur in the Meerut division of western Uttar Pradesh the competition is neck to neck. Like in the previous assembly elections, it remains difficult for any one party to prevail. Voters are in difficulty as a result of rallies, virtual rallies, and social media campaigning, to name a few tactics. As a result, right before voting, the voter is asked to participate in this analysis so that his or her vote may be utilized appropriately.

People ask what hope they have that some of the election promises made in the previous and even the previous assembly elections would be met this time, given that some of those pledges have not been honored so far. The voters' reaction to the Samajwadi Party's promise to provide free electricity to 300 units in the state was that it was not possible to fulfill this promise and that, even if it were attempted, the people of the state would have to endure a 14-hour power cut, similar to what they had to endure under the previous Akhilesh government.

The Yogi administration had claimed that the electricity rate will be halved starting in January of this year, but this turned out to be a lie.

There is animosity among voters as to why political parties attempted to win votes only on the basis of promises made by candidates. He thinks that today's voter is so ideologically adept that he is capable of casting his vote intelligently and cannot be misled, neither by the promises made by the parties nor by the rhetoric of the candidates. Those who will vote on Thursday have determined that they will have entirely forgotten about all of the electoral promises made by each and every political party.

The Hastinapur seat in Meerut is of particular interest to the whole state since, whatever party wins this seat, the same government would be established across the state. The tradition of this seat has been maintained since 1957 and continues to this day. Dinesh Khatik, a sitting MLA and minister in the state cabinet, has been nominated for re-election by the BJP. In contrast, the SP-RLD coalition has set its chances on Yogesh Verma, a former BSP MLA who is now a candidate for the RLD. Archana Geetam, a Bollywood actress, has been nominated to run for Congress. Local voters are contemplating a tough battle between Dinesh Khatik and Yogesh Verma, according to reports.
