When invoking the gods of the pantheon turns UP poll plot

Look how Lord Krishna and Ram Rajya are pitted against BJP in the UP poll scene

The Assembly poll scenario in Uttar Pradesh is fast turning out to be a furnace where parties in the fray are vying with each other to roast each other. And the ridicule, the barbed attacks and the funny comments made against each other make for much fun.

For the parties, it is a do or die battle in the offing. And each one of them knows that well. When the BJP, which has Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at the centre of all things, is trying its best to keep rivals such as the Samajwadi Party pinned down, the SP led by Akhilesh Yadav isn’t willing to lie low.

The Samajwadi Party, on the contrary, wants to encounter the BJP head on, and led by Akhilesh Yadav, the party is doing just that, with near perfection. Take for instance the manner in Yadav stormed into the BJP campaign scene and declared that Lord Krishna comes in his dreams every night to tell him that he would form the government in Uttar Pradesh.

UP polls and the Lord Krishna dream

Though said in a lighter vein, Akhilesh Yadav’s words were barbed ammunition. For, the BJP has been banking on Lord Rama and talking of Ram Rajya being built in UP. The SP chief took the same weapon to barge into the BJP camp, by saying that the gods are with him and that Lord Krishna himself supports him.

The statement needs to be seen as a reference to his belief that the BJP has failed in giving the people a Ram Rajya that PM Narendra Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath had promised last time around.
