News India Live, Digital Desk: Muzaffarnagar has always been the center of power in the politics of Western Uttar Pradesh. In view of the upcoming elections, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) chief Jayant Choudhary have raised concerns on the opposition’s forehead by raising a common platform. This ‘double engine’ alliance of BJP and RLD has given a clear message through the rally in Muzaffarnagar to further strengthen its hold in the Jat and farmer belt.
Confluence of Jat politics and BJP-RLD
The role of Jat voters is decisive in Western UP. In the last few elections, BJP had to face challenges in this area due to the farmers’ movement, but with the coming of Jayant Chaudhary, the equations have completely changed. During the rally, CM Yogi recalled the contribution of Chaudhary Charan Singh, calling him the ‘messiah of farmers’ and mentioned the ‘Bharat Ratna’ given to him by the BJP government. Experts believe that joining forces with Jayant is the biggest bet of ‘social engineering’ for BJP.
CM Yogi’s attack: ‘Riot free Uttar Pradesh’
In his address, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reminded the old era of Muzaffarnagar and made a sharp attack on the previous governments. He said that Muzaffarnagar, which was burning in the fire of riots before 2017, has today become a model of development and security. The CM said, “Our government has created fear of law in the minds of criminals by ending the politics of appeasement.” He also described the payment to sugarcane farmers and improvement in power supply as a big achievement of his government.
Jayant Chaudhary’s new attitude: ‘War for the respect of farmers’
Jayant Chaudhary’s attitude in the joint rally appeared quite positive. Addressing his supporters, he said that this alliance is the need of the hour in the interest of farmers and youth. He said that the changes that have taken place in the infrastructure of Western UP are praiseworthy. Jayant clarified that his alliance with BJP is not just electoral but based on a shared vision of development.
Opposition’s uneasiness increased
This combination of Yogi-Jayant has created problems for the Samajwadi Party and Congress alliance. This rally in Muzaffarnagar is likely to have an impact not only at the local level but also on the voting pattern of neighboring districts like Baghpat, Shamli, Bijnor and Meerut. This combined strength of BJP-RLD is working with the aim of breaking the Muslim-Jat equations and ensuring a big victory through ‘Kisan Card’.
