What was Akhilesh's cluster formula that made him man of the match in UP, SP became a huge hit after 20 years
For the first time, Akhilesh Yadav stayed at his house on the day of the result. He never once visited the Samajwadi Party office and was in constant touch with party leaders and workers. He continued to give advice from home. The series continued till midnight. The Samajwadi Party lost by a margin of 2,000 votes in Baruchabad constituency. The party felt that something had gone wrong. Akhilesh calmed everyone down. The nearly 32-year-old Samajwadi Party has been doing very well in the Lok Sabha elections. The party led by Akhilesh Yadav won 38 seats. Samajwadi Party got 35 seats in 2004 elections. Mulayam Singh Yadav was the president of the party then. After losing four consecutive elections, questions were raised about Akhilesh Yadav's leadership, but this time in the Lok Sabha elections, Akhilesh Yadav is the man of the match. He prevented the BJP from achieving majority with a single majority. Akhilesh Yadav's formula for this election is PDA. He had announced this seven months ago. Plans were made to contest the elections by including backward, dalit and minorities. Akhilesh felt that in the name of minorities, BJP could do communal polarization under the guise of Muslims. He then described PDA's A as forward and sometimes women as half the population. Akhilesh Yadav distributed these formula tickets. This time the age-old social equation of 'MY' is rejected. Muslims and Yadavs will stay with Samajwadi Party in any situation. Based on this thinking, Akhilesh Yadav changed his strategy in this election. Akhilesh Yadav's full focus is now on non-Yadav backward classes and Dalits. He made this attempt in the last assembly elections as well. But this time Akhilesh used cluster formula while doing social engineering. That is, a different social equation was created for each region. In one Lok Sabha constituency, Patel candidate was given and according to the population in neighboring places, somewhere Nishad, somewhere Bind and some places Kushwaha candidates were given. This double dose of social engineering is a superhit. Nishad was fielded as the candidate in Gorakhpur against Maneka Gandhi. Ram Phuwal Nishad defeated Maneka Gandhi in Sultanpur. Akhilesh did many similar experiments. Selection of candidates for Faizabad Lok Sabha Constituency is not safe. But here he gave a ticket to a Dalit leader, Avadesh Bazi. Ayodhya is also in Faizabad Lok Sabha constituency. BJP has made Ram temple immersion a big election issue. But various slogans were raised in Faizabad city. No Ayodhya or Kashi, this time Avadesh Pasi. Samajwadi Party candidate Avdesh Prasad belongs to the Basi community. There was a Gurmi candidate in Ambedkar Nagar constituency near Faizabad and a Nishad candidate in Sultanpur. Muslims from Backward, Most Backward and Dalit communities along with the Yadav community ensured the victory of Awadesh Prasad from Faizabad. BJP has formed an alliance with four parties in UP to expand social equality. RLD for Jat votes, Nishad Party for Nishad votes, Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party for Rajbar votes and Apna Dal for Patel Gurmi votes. Akhilesh Yadav also developed the same formula in the last assembly elections. But this time his strategy has changed. He is ready to try himself instead of outsiders. Pallavi Patel broke up with him. In such a situation, this time Akhilesh Yadav openly gave tickets to non-Yadav backward communities. Patel gave tickets to 10 Kushwaha-Shakya-Saini community leaders from the Gurmi community. Similarly, 5 people belonging to Nishad caste were also given. Among the Dalits, he gave tickets to 7 leaders of Basi community and 6 leaders of Jadav community. Mayawati belongs to Jadav community. 11 percent of UP's Jathavs have been voting for Mayawati for the past several years. But this time Akhilesh Yadav bet on him and won. The BJP has made several attempts to trap Akhilesh Yadav in his game on the constitutional amendment issue. Why don't you go to Ram Temple Kumbabhishek ceremony? A great controversy arose over this. But this move of BJP did not work in the elections. Akhilesh Yadav continued to stand his ground. Problems like unemployment, inflation and paper leakage were raised. They promised free data with Anta. Akhilesh Yadav and Rahul Gandhi turned BJP's 'Sir Hundred Bar' slogan into a struggle to save the Constitution. The word spread from village to village that the constitution would be changed if BJP came to power. Reservations for Dalits and Backward Classes may end. Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Sangh President Mohan Bhagwat explained several times. But this matter has stuck in people's minds. This is the reason why Mayawati's voters also support Akhilesh Yadav. It was a major turning point in UP politics. After the Akash Anand episode, BSP's image has changed a bit like BJP's 'B' team. In such a situation alliance with Congress worked like ice.
