Time is an everchanging entity, Rae Bareli now Modi citadel: BJP candidate Dinesh Pratap Singh
RAE BARELI: For Dinesh Pratap Singh, the Congress turncoat ready to take on Rahul Gandhi as the BJP candidate in Rae Bareli, time is an everchanging entity. Confident of his victory over the Gandhi scion in his citadel, Singh, hailing from a well-known political family of Rae Bareli, feels it is a thing of the past when the seat was considered a Congress stronghold. Now the time has changed and so has Rae Bareli. It has turned into a citadel of PM Modi, he asserts. At present an MLC and minister in Yogi cabinet, Singh switched over to the saffron brigade from the Congress in September 2018 owing to his political ambitions which he thought wont be fulfilled as long as he continued to play second fiddle to the Gandhis in Rae Bareli. However, before switching sides, Singh and his four younger brothers used to be close associates of the Gandhis and their poll managers in Rae Bareli. Singhs political journey took a crucial turn when he was chosen by the BJP to contest the 16th Lok Sabha polls against former Congress chief Sonia Gandhi in 2019. Despite his defeat, he found solace in securing 38 per cent votes and bringing the victory margin of Sonia Gandhi down to 1.67 lakh votes from 3.52 lakh in 2014. The fact is that the Congress has no grassroot leadership in Rae Bareli. I say with responsibility that Sonia Gandhiji may be Rae Bareli MP constitutionally but she could defeat Dinesh Singh in 2019 as she was fighting with the support of four partiesSP, BSP, AAP and Congress. Had she not enjoyed the support of even one of those parties, the BJP candidate would have walked away with the victory certificate. My only religion is to serve people with empathy: Amethi Congress candidate KL Sharma He says that unlike the Gandhi family, he has been serving the people of the constituency with dedication. In testing times, the Congress MP was never among the people of her constituency during the last five years but when Rahul Gandhi came for nomination she could endure the scorching sun for hours. So why should Rae Bareli not elect its own son instead of relying on others, he says adding that due to the indifference of the Gandhis, the people of Rae Bareli have realised that they must have their own son as their representative. Counting on the infrastructural development and roads constructed in Rae Bareli during the last five years, he claims that he is least bothered about the Congress partys strategy of fielding Rahul Gandhi from Rae Bareli. I can see the lotus in Rae Bareli. Why will I waste my time unnecessarily in evaluating the Congress strategy. I do not want to indulge in the debate of Rahul Gandhi contesting from Rae Bareli and not Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Over the alleged infighting in the BJP over his candidature from Rae Bareli, he claims full support of the sitting party MLA of Rae Bareli. Our cadre and leadership are strong enough to serve a crushing defeat to Rahul Gandhi in Rae Bareli unlike the Congress which imported leaders from other states to make Rahul Gandhis nomination a photo op, he says. There is no challenge for me in the 2024 election. I am quite confident of a win as the Congress does not have a presence even in a single assembly constituency of Rae Bareli, he adds. Will UP's rural voters spring a surprise in this election?

Will UP's rural voters spring a surprise in this election?
Uttar Pradesh. Of the 23 crore population in India's largest state, nearly 70% or more are estimated to be living in rural areas. By simple logic, the socio-political sentiment in UP's villages then should have a defining impact on the election results here. Building on that argument, since farming is increasingly considered unviable and unprofitable, since rural incomes, rural consumption and expenditure are going down, and since migration to cities is unabated, the results should have gone against the ruling party. Yet, the state was more than kind to the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2019 (64 seats for the NDA), despite the fact that rural distress that year was as bad as it is now. Is it all because of free ration, housing and direct benefit transfer? Or did the math go awry because it is simplistic to draw a direct connection between rural distress and election results? The question becomes important as the causes of rural distress such as low income, unviable farming, lack of employment, migration and uncomfortable living conditions have remained unchanged especially for marginalised and small farmers even in 2024. They, and other unskilled or semi-skilled people have been thronging the cities to work as daily wage labourers, domestic helps, or doing odd jobs. But even then, most of them manage to retain their land holding (howsoever small) and do some farming by periodically going to their villages. Migration, one can say, has been a mitigating factor to their distress. But in recent years, those having mid-sized farms and own houses in UPs villages are encountering new challenges such as shortage of farm labourers, the menace of stray cattle and animals, corruption, high-handedness of village level government functionaries, and uneven implementation of welfare schemes. At election time, some of these issues have acquired an urgency that might have impacted the polling in last three phases, and may do so in the rest. Labour shortage The shortage of farm labourers is a problem faced by many farmers, regardless of the size of cultivable land. Many activities that involve the use of manual labour, for which traditionally men and women from the economically weaker sections in villages were hired as required. But over the last few years, the availability of work and money through the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) has led many people to shun manual farm labour. Also, the direct benefit transfer (DBT) of money for nutrition for expectant mothers, daughters, education, health, pension etc has led to an assured amount reaching them every month. As a result, farming is increasingly becoming difficult -- and less remunerative -- for land owners, unless they have their own manpower to handle the work. This is the story all over UP. As Rameshwar Khare in Mohammadi, near Lakhimpur Kheri says, We have sold off a part of our farm land as there is big shortage of farm labour and we intend to convert the land into something commercial. What are UP's Muslim voters up to in this Lok Sabha election? The land is fertile and he would like to retain the mango orchard as it does not require much tending. In village Baba Baldev Singh Ka Purwa in Barabanki, Dharam Pal says farming on their family land had become difficult as there were no labourers to be found in the season. So, they are planning to put it to some other use as the Purvanchal Expressway passing within a few kilometres might open new opportunities. For those not having commercially viable alternatives, it indeed is a tough call. Stray cattle menace Stray cattle and wild animals continue to be a big problem in most districts. The state government has been very strict about cow protection as a result of which there is an abundance of emaciated stray cattle roaming around. The destruction of standing crops by such animals is aggravated by the state government's order that no barbed wires should be used to fence fields. According to an agency report quoting the 2019 Livestock Census , there are over 1.90 crore cattle in Uttar Pradesh, including 62,04,304 milch cows and 23,36,151 dry cows. There are cow shelters but all are packed to capacity. The stray cattle menace has also added to farmers' economic woes as they do not know what to do with cows that have stopped giving milk. In May 2017, the Centre banned the sale of cattle for slaughter in animal markets across the country. This has led to a serious problem across the state and farmers blame the present government for it. If these grievances run truly deep, the voting behaviour is likely to be impacted. High-handedness Despite digitisation of government work, offices at the tehsil (sub-district) level continue to be hotbeds of corruption, inefficiency and high-handedness. Be it agriculture, Panchayati Raj, electricity, irrigation, land revenue, the junior officers and clerks work as per their convenience and seek favours even for small work. After every election, people expect change but that never comes. If the harassment is blatantly caste- or community-driven, then the sufferers decide to extract their revenge. It was evident in the vote for change in the 2017 Assembly election. Caste factor Caste and regional loyalties continue to play strong roles in socio-political decision-making in villages and will do so in the 2024 election that is a waveless one at the moment and seeing a return to regular politics. Caste tensions, favours done by local politicians and the apprehension of repercussions in case of an unfavourable verdict play upon the minds of the village people. An interesting anecdote in this regard comes from Ballia where local residents say a senior Samajwadi Party leader is helping the campaign of the Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Neeraj Shekhar, out of deference for the latter's late father, the veteran Chandra Shekhar. Lack of employment Even though MNREGS has been a source of some relief, no substantive employment opportunities have come up in villages. Although self-help groups of women have flourished in many districts and success stories of small businesses being run by women in Ambedkar Nagar, Baghpat, Fatehpur, Lucknow, Gorakhpur have been well known. But, the repeated cancellation of examinations for recruitment to government vacancies following a paper leak, and delay in initiating the process of many other government recruitments has caused widespread resentment among the youth. In an interesting incident, many youths of Ballia had applied for and got government jobs in adjoining Bihar and are giving credit to the RJD-Congress combine that was in government with Nitish Kumar in Bihar then. They and their family members are now canvassing for the Samajwadi Party in UP. The importance of being Akhilesh Yadav in this Lok Sabha election The reduction of opportunity in defence forces because of Agniveer scheme has also angered the youth, says Om Prakash, a farmer in Ballia's Chhitikiya village. The other side If things are indeed so stark, then the sentiment should be against the ruling party all over the state. But it is not so. Undoubtedly, free foodgrains, free toilets, PM rural housing, women SHGs, meals in schools, money for books, copies, stationery, uniforms and socks, pension and insurance money coming into bank accounts have had their impact. Another big factor is that organised crime is now much less of a hazard in the state. The threat of extortion, kidnapping and bonded labour at the hands of criminal gangs has reduced drastically. In its place, crimes of passion and revenge have increased, but that generally does not have a bearing on how the law and order situation is perceived. According to police officials, there used to be crime syndicates in all districts, sometimes more than one in a big district. There has been an organized campaign to neutralise such gangs, and the impact is for all to see, says Vijay Kumar, former Director-General of Police (DGP) who served in this post from May 31, 2023 to January 31, 2024. He adds that there has been a big rise in convictions as well with prosecution being taken seriously. Under 'Operation Conviction' meant to speed up the sentencing process for serious crimes, 3,020 criminals were punished, with 3,000 receiving life imprisonment and 20 receiving the death penalty. Village life may not present the idyllic picture traditionally associated with it, but there are mobile phones in the hands of almost every village-dweller. The youth are engrossed in their screens or making videos to add to their social media feeds. More girls can be seen going to schools, and the desire to earn money by whatever means is perceptible everywhere. The road network in most villages has vastly improved, except for those in remote areas. The electricity supply is not round-the-clock yet, but has improved in last ten years -- the summer shortage notwithstanding. The handpumps continue to be the major source of water supply even as the Jal Jeewan Mission under the National Rural Drinking Water Project (NRDWP) is slowly making an impact. All things considered, community and faith compulsions, freebies, and the acceptability of a strong ruler may actually make voters from UP's villages forget the sources of their distress while pressing the button.

Decreasing voter turnout in Gujarat sparks concern for BJP and Congress
AHMEDABAD: According to the latest figures from the Election Commission, Gujarat recorded a voter turnout of around 59.51 percent on Tuesday. This marks the lowest turnout in the past two Lok Sabha elections in the state. The decreasing voter turnout in Gujarat over the past decade has sparked curiosity and concern among both the ruling BJP and the Congress. According to data from the Election Commission of India (ECI) released on Tuesday night, voter turnout across Gujarat's 25 Lok Sabha constituencies stood at only 59.51%. This marks a notable decrease from the 2019 turnout of 64.51% and the 2014 turnout of 63.66%. Out of the 4.79 crore eligible voters, only 2.85 crore individuals cast their ballots, while 1.90 crore abstained from voting. The unprecedented decline in voter participation can be attributed to a combination of factors. Among these, anti-incumbency sentiments, worsened by local grievances and disillusionment, stand out prominently, said Senior Journalist Dilip Patel. Discontent among crucial caste groups has become a central issue. The Kshatriya agitation, along with disillusionment among influential caste communities like Leuva Patels, Kadva Patels, and Koli Patels, has significantly influenced the electoral dynamics, potentially impacting the ruling party, he said. Karansinh Chavda, spokesperson of the Kshatriya Coordination Committee, stated, In Saurashtra, the BJP is poised to face significant setbacks. It is anticipated that the BJP may encounter defeat in around seven Lok Sabha seats due to the Kshatriya Movement, initiated in response to Union Minister Parshottam Rupala's comments. The voter turnout across different constituencies also offers additional perspectives on the changing political dynamics. While few seats saw a slight drop in participation compared to 2019 and 2014, others observed more significant declines. Voters in Kesar village in Bharuch district, Sanadhara in Surat district, and Bhakhari in Banaskantha district chose to completely boycott the voting process. Additionally, voters in Bhatgam village in Junagadh district, as well as Bodoli and Kunjara villages in Mahisagar district, partially boycotted the voting process, as reported by the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO).
