digital desk- The recent assembly election results of West Bengal have created a stir in politics across the country. While on one hand BJP’s massive victory has surprised everyone, on the other hand, a period of churning has started over the crushing defeat of Trinamool Congress. National President of Samajwadi Party, Akhilesh Yadav, while analyzing the reasons behind this defeat in depth, has underlined two main reasons: dispersion of Muslim votes and lack of support of election strategist organization I-PAC. According to Akhilesh Yadav, the biggest reason for Mamata Banerjee’s loss of power in West Bengal has been the alienation of her core vote bank i.e. Muslim voters. While analyzing, Yadav said that this time instead of going to TMC only, the vote of Muslim community was divided into many parts, which directly benefited BJP. Apart from this, he also raised questions on election management. He believes that the absence of I-PAC, the organization that wrote the script of victory in the last elections, with Mamata Banerjee this time proved to be a big shortcoming.

Polarization and grassroots discontent

Akhilesh Yadav in his reaction also indicated that the intense polarization during the elections has also spoiled the game. The BJP was successful in capitalizing on the dissatisfaction that existed among the people of Bengal regarding some local issues. According to Akhilesh, when there is a rift in the vote bank and strategic management weakens, the results are similarly shocking.

Big lesson for the opposition

This statement of the SP President is not only in the context of Bengal, but is also being seen as a warning to the opposition alliance ‘INDIA’ for the upcoming elections. Akhilesh Yadav clarified that elections cannot be won on the basis of popularity alone; For this, it is essential to have a solid election strategy and to preserve our traditional vote bank.
