Regarding the Ghaziabad by-election, all parties and candidates are currently busy formulating victory formulas and campaigns. This Diwali also coincides with the by-election campaign. In this case, the market is full of festive lights. There is no excitement and enthusiasm about the by-election just yet. All the candidates and parties running in the election are also very aware of this situation. That is why currently candidates and their supporters are holding small meetings and reaching out to workers and voters on electoral issues, but large rallies or large political programs are not in sight.
Strategists of various political parties are also busy unraveling the caste and religious vote equation in Ghaziabad Sadar constituency. In fact, this seat has a large number of Dalit and Muslim voters. In the assembly seat of Ghaziabad, the total number of voters is 4,06,1,360. Among them, Dalit voters are about 80,000 and Muslim voters are more than 35,000. If Dalit and Muslim voters vote together for any party, then this number will decide the outcome. In this case, the difficulties faced by the BJP here may Increase.
SP conducted a new experiment
Muslim voters gravitate toward candidates who perform strongly in elections and are seen as beating the BJP candidate. Meanwhile, the SP has made a new experiment by fielding Dalit candidate Singh Raj Jatav for the general seat here. Singh Raj Jatav joined the SP in 2022, before which he had been associated with the BSP party for many years and is an old BSP so he can appeal to Dalit voters. Moreover, after the BSP, the trend among Dalit voters was tilted towards the Congress in the last Lok Sabha elections, in which Congress’s Doli Sharma It exerted a great influence among Lite voters.
BJP’s difficulties may increase
The Congress party is also currently in alliance with the Samajwadi Party. In this case, if an alliance of Dalit and Muslim voters is formed in this seat, it may increase the problems for the BJP candidate. However, while the Socialist Party of the Philippines has made its case for Dalit Muslim voters, parties like AIMIM and the Liberal Socialist Party, as well as many independent candidates, have also claimed that these Muslim Dalit voters are on their side. In this scenario, the equation will provide relief to the BJP if Dalit Muslim voters are split between different parties and candidates, while the combination of the two may add to the problems for the BJP.
The Bharatiya Janata Party nominated a Brahmin, the Samajwadi Party nominated a Vaishya and the Samajwadi Party nominated a Jatav.
Let us tell you from here that the Bharatiya Janata Party has fielded Brahmin Sanjeev Sharma, the BJP has fielded PN Garg from Vaishya Samaj, the Samajwadi Party from Congress alliance has fielded Dalit candidate Singh Ra Ji Jatav, the main electoral contest between them will be seen here.
