Union Home Minister Amit Shah is gearing up for a series of engagements, including a speech at a public gathering in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday, underscoring the state’s pivotal role in the political landscape ahead of the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Shah is scheduled to address a public gathering at the National Inter College Ground in Shahpur, Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, on Wednesday afternoon.
Following the public meeting, the Home Minister will convene a closed-door session of the Lok Sabha Core Group at Hotel MB Greens Clarks in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh. This session is expected to focus on election strategy and key priorities for the state.
Shah’s visit to Uttar Pradesh underscores the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) commitment to engaging with the electorate and addressing their concerns ahead of the crucial polls.
With just over two weeks until the commencement of the seven-phase Lok Sabha elections on April 19, India is gearing up for a significant electoral exercise, culminating in counting on June 4.
Uttar Pradesh, with its 80 Lok Sabha seats, will play a critical role in shaping the outcome of the elections. The state will participate in all seven phases of polling, with varying numbers of constituencies going to the polls in each phase.
Key constituencies like Rae Bareli, Amethi, and Varanasi will see voting in later phases, highlighting the importance of Uttar Pradesh in determining the election results.
The political landscape in Uttar Pradesh is poised for intense competition, with the BJP, the Samajwadi Party (SP), and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) alliance vying for dominance. In the previous 2019 elections, the BJP emerged victorious in 62 seats, with its ally Apna Dal (Sonelal) securing one seat, while the SP-BSP alliance clinched 16 seats.
