Parties and alliances

National Democratic Alliance

During the month of September, the NDA confirmed an alliance between BJP, AD(S) and the NISHAD Party.[10][11] During the month of August, the NDA held talks with parties like JD(U), Ham(S)[12] and others, however the seat sharing talks fell apart later. In October, there were major restructuring efforts by the alliance with new faces and revamp of parties in an effort to battle anti-incumbency. In the first 2 weeks of December, the alliance launched it campaign for the election.[13] On the 13th of Jan the national democratic alliance sealed their seat sharing pact with NISHAD Party getting 13-17 and Apna Dal getting 10-14 and BJP competing in the remaining seats.

Campaigns

Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), the umbrella body of farmers, campaigned against the ruling BJP by organising public meetings and rallies asking farmers to not vote for BJP.[54] SKM had organised the 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protest against the controversial three farm acts which were passed by the BJP-led Union Government in the BJP controlled Parliament of India in September 2020. These laws were eventually withdrawn by the Union government.[54]

On 31 January 2022, the farmer leaders observed "Vishwasghat Diwas" (treachery day) across India after the Union government failed to fulfil promises that were made to the farmers during the withdrawal of agitation against three farm laws. SKM leaders have warned that the farm laws may be re-introduced if BJP wins the elections.[55]

According to the SKM leaders the promises that BJP made to the farmers in the 2022 manifesto were also made in the 2017 election manifesto, but they were not implemented. Neither the income of the farmer was doubled nor they got Minimum support Price (MSP) for their produce.[56]

SKM leaders launched "Mission UP and Uttarakhand" and appealed to the voters to not vote for BJP calling them anti-farmer. The appeal did not make any recommendation to vote for any specific political party. SKM's appeal was supported by 57 farmer organisations. Since the campaign rallies were banned due to COVID-19 pandemic in India, leaflets with the appeal were handed to the villagers.[57]

Policy positions

Farm Laws

BJP's Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar in December 2021, had said that BJP brought the 3 agriculture amendment laws (repealed in 2021). "But the government is not disappointed. We moved a step back and we will move forward again because farmers are India’s backbone."[58]

The INC and AAP are against the farm laws and had supported the farmers' unions during their year-long protest against the farm laws.[59][60]

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has stated that after forming the government in Uttar Pradesh, SP will not allow the implementation of any anti-farmer laws in Uttar Pradesh.[61] He warned the farmers against BJP, and said that BJP had withdrawn the controversial farm laws to get votes from the farmers. SP's alliance partner Rashtriya Lok Dal is also against the implementation of farm laws.[61]

Election Issues

Citing a survey from all constituencies of UP, DNA news reported that Unemployment was the biggest issue for 73% of the voters. Inflation and price rise was second with 65% voter support. Development was 54% and stray animal was an issue for 39% voters.[62]

Stray Cow

Stray cow on a busy street in Varanasi

Slaughter of cow is illegal in most places in the country.[63] The anti slaughter laws were not strictly enforced until 2014.[64] Cows are considered holy in Hinduism, yet the farmers regularly took their old cows to slaughter houses until the years before 2014 when BJP's Narendra Modi government won the general election.[65]

The deadly stray cow attacks on humans and crops in both the urban and rural areas is an issue for the residents. In 2017, after coming to power, Yogi Adityanath government had promised to build cattle shelters to better manage the stray cattle.[66] Since BJP came to power in 2017, cow slaughter has been made illegal in 18 states in India including UP, this was done in accordance with the right wing Hindu agenda.[65] Since then the trading of male cattle has reduced due to the fear of arrest, persecution, lynching by cow vigilantes. The farmers unable to sell them, abandon them to wander on the roads and feed on standing crops.[67][68][69]

The Adityanath ministry in the state of Uttar Pradesh introduced a special alcohol tax to earn money and maintain thousands of cow sheds operated by the government. The BBC reported that the tax did not solve the problem of stray cow and the cow sheds were found to be over crowded.[65]

BJP state government claims to have provided money to the village pradhans to set up cow shelters to keep the stray cattle. Deccan Herald reported that it could not find cattle shelters in the villages of Sitapur, Lakhimpur Kheri, Hardoi and Unnao districts. Places that had cow shelters, were already full with no capactity to keep more cattle.[70]

BJP leaders refused to accept that the stray cattle was an issue, even though the farmers consider it an issue.[70] Speaking at a rally in Kanpur in February, PM Narendra Modi acknowledged the problem in his rally and said the Yogi government is trying to solve the problem by setting up cattle shelters.[68]

The Samajwadi Party promised compensation of 5 Lakh ₹ for farmers who were killed by bulls.[66] SP promised to fix the root cause of the problem, removing the fear in trading of livestock without any trouble or harassment.[68]

The Congress Party promised[51] compensation of ₹3,000 per acre for damaged crops. It also promised a Godhan Nyay Yojana along the lines of a smiliar scheme in Chhattisgarh including the purchase of cow dung (gobar) for ₹2 per kilogram to promote organic farming and vermi-composting by Self-Help Groups. It promised an amount of ₹500 per stray animal that is turned into a village Gaushala for a fixed period.

On 22 February, the local farmers released hundreds of cattle at the venue of the election rally in Barabanki located 40 km from the state capital Lucknow. The act was to highlight the menace of the stray cattle in the area. In a viral video of the incident, hundreds of unattended cattle were seen roaming in the open rally ground.[71][64][72]

Roads

Lack of roads was a major poll issue for people in Amethi.[73]

Incidents

Voting Machine malfunction

In the third and fourth phase of election, Electronic Voter Machine (EVM) malfunction was reported at several places.[74][75]

At multiple polling booths, pressing the button for SP Party on the EVM caused the vote slip being printed for the BJP candidate, instead of the SP candidate. SP has asked ECI to look into the matter. In the third phase of the election, such cases were reported at Bhognipur (Assembly constituency) in Kanpur Rural and Kishni (Assembly constituency) in Mainpuri district.[76][77] In the fourth phase of the election, such cases were reported at Sri Nagar (Assembly constituency) in Lakhimpur Kheri district[78]
