The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 17 Jan 2022If Bengal and Puducherry were the two states in the five-state polls last year to be plagued by defections, in this year’s five-state elections nearly every party in every state is facing pre-election turbulence. In UP, Akhilesh Yadav can boast of having pulled off a minor coup by bagging veteran OBC leader SP Maurya but BJP has also won over a fair share of BSP and SP leaders.
In Uttarakhand the honours are even with both BJP and Congress trading top leaders. Congress has sacked its state party chief Kishore Upadhyaya for allegedly hobnobbing with BJP and the ruling party has ousted its minister Harak Singh Rawat for confabulations with Congress. Earlier former PCC chief Yashpal Arya, a transport minister in the BJP government, had returned to Congress despite dumping the party in 2017 while Congress had lost an important Dalit leader Rajkumar who had withstood the BJP wave of 2017.
