Uttarakhand Bypoll Analysis: BJP Admits Mistakes in Ticket Distribution

In a surprising turn of events, the recent bypolls in Uttarakhand saw the Congress clinching victory in both Assembly seats, dealing a setback to the ruling BJP. Mahendra Bhatt, the BJP state president, acknowledged that fielding turncoat leaders from other parties was a strategic error that contributed to these losses.

Analysis of Bypoll Results

Despite its resounding victory in the general elections earlier this year and its recent win in the 2022 Assembly polls, the BJP faltered in the bypolls. The party lost the Manglaur seat, historically challenging for them, and the religiously significant Badrinath seat, where they had previously held a strong position.

Mahendra Bhatt, reflecting on the outcomes, stated, “In Manglaur, where historically we have struggled, we lost by just 422 votes… In Badrinath, the contest was close throughout, with margins as slim as 200–300 votes per round. We need to thoroughly assess our strategy moving forward.”

Admission of Mistakes

One significant factor Bhatt highlighted was the decision to award tickets to leaders who had recently switched allegiance from the Congress. “During the Lok Sabha elections, we assured these leaders of tickets for the Assembly seats. In hindsight, this decision was a mistake,” Bhatt admitted during a state working committee meeting.

He further pledged to review these decisions and rectify any errors in future electoral strategies. Bhatt emphasized, “I am committed to reclaiming Badrinath for the BJP soon.”

Key Contestants and Their Backgrounds

The Badrinath bypoll saw Rajendra Singh Bhandari, a three-time Congress MLA who joined BJP earlier this year, losing to Congress’s Lakhpat Singh Butola by 5,224 votes. This loss is seen as a significant shift in the political landscape of Garhwal, where BJP previously held all 14 Assembly segments.

In Manglaur, Kartar Singh Bhadana, a recent BJP entrant from BSP and brother of noted politician Avtar Singh Bhadana, lost to senior Congress leader Qazi Nizamuddin by a narrow margin of 422 votes. This seat, traditionally contested between Congress and BSP, showcased a competitive environment.

Conclusion

The bypoll results serve as a critical reminder to the BJP of the importance of candidate selection and strategic planning. As they navigate the fallout from these losses, the party aims to regroup and strengthen its position in Uttarakhand politics.

[ad_1] GG News Bureau Dehradun, 15th Oct. The Election Commission of India has announced that the bypoll for the Kedarnath Assembly seat in Uttarakhand will take place on November 20. The seat fell vacant following the death of MLA Shaila Rawat in July. Rawat, who won the seat as a BJP candidate in the 2022 assembly elections, previously represented Kedarnath as a Congress MLA in 2012. She lost the seat in 2017 but made a comeback in 2022. Located in Rudraprayag district, the Kedarnath seat is part of the Pauri Garhwal Lok Sabha constituency, currently held by the BJP. Additional Chief Election Officer Vijay Kumar Jogdande stated that the notification for the bypoll will be issued on October 22, with October 29 set as the last date for filing nominations. Nomination scrutiny will take place on October 30, and the last date for withdrawal is November 4. Counting of votes will occur on November 23. With the model code of conduct now in effect in the district, it will remain in force until November 25. Pradesh BJP president and Rajya Sabha MP Mahendra Bhatt welcomed the announcement, expressing confidence in replicating the party’s successful performances in Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir. He claimed that the BJP is poised to win the seat with a record number of votes, attributing their potential success to the historic work done by the “double engine government” in the constituency. Bhatt emphasized the party’s preparedness for the polls, highlighting the active involvement of its booth and Panna committees established during the Lok Sabha elections. [ad_2] Source link
