Modi, Yogi Popularity on Test in Varanasi, Gorakhpur

-



Varanasi/Gorakhpur: As the ongoing Lok Sabha polls move towards a finale, the biggest battle will take place in the seventh and last phase of the elections in Uttar Pradesh.

The final phase will put to test the popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Varanasi and the prestige of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Gorakhpur.

Although there is no doubt about the result of the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat, the question is mainly about the margin of victory for the Prime Minister.

Modi had won the 2014 elections with a margin of 3.37 lakh votes against his nearest rival, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal.

This time Modi is facing Ajay Rai of the Congress as his main rival. Rai had forfeited his deposit in 2014.

With the Modi wave abating in eastern Uttar Pradesh and caste arithmetic taking over, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is determined to increase the victory margin.

“This time Prime Minister Narendra Modi will double his margin and we are all working towards this. There should be no complacency in mobilising voters. He has changed the face of Varanasi and the development is there for all to see,” said Vijay Bahadur Pathak, BJP General Secretary.

BJP president Amit Shah arrived in Varanasi Monday evening and will station himself in the constituency for the next four days. He will meet party workers and give necessary instructions for the polling day.

He will campaign in various constituencies during the day and will return to Varanasi in the evening to take stock of the progress.

In Gorakhpur, it is Adityanath’s prestige at stake. The Gorakhpur seat has been with the BJP since 1991 but in the by-election in 2018, the BJP lost the seat to Samajwadi Party (SP).

Winning back the seat from the SP is now the BJP’s biggest challenge in this phase. Bhojpuri star Ravi Kishan, who is the BJP candidate from Gorakhpur, is banking solely on the popularity of Modi and Yogi to win the seat.

Adityanath, whose political future depends largely on the result of Gorakhpur and, of course, the rest of the state, has been campaigning for Ravi Kishan. He has held more than 20 election meetings in the city.

New Delhi: Over 2,000 agile commandos on ground, 120 young supervisory officers, thousands of bullet rounds, first-aid kits and volumes of intelligence data sheets. This is what it takes for the central forces to ensure a watertight VIP security cover every day to politicians campaigning across the country during the ongoing polls. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress president Rahul Gandhi are protected by the elite Special Protection Group (SPG), other prominent politicians are guarded by central forces like the NSG, CRPF, CISF and ITBP, as they travel thousands of kilometres each day canvassing for their parties. “In all, about 2,000 commandos are on ground and are rotated in shifts, apart from 120 young officers as party of the central security cover to the politicians. A huge amount of paraphernalia of logistics, weapons and intelligence and operational dossiers are put at their disposal everyday when the teams head out with their VIPs for campaigning in the c...
