Another Set Back for Congress

While  Rahul Gandhi was  busy in defying rape and abduction charges in supreme court , another news came, which will certainly give a  sleepless night to this  self claimed Prince . This guy worked heart out in UP but his party  licking dust in all the corners of the state In what is being seen as a fallout of Anna effect and price hike under UPA II, after Delhi and Mumbai, urban voters in Uttar Pradesh have also discarded the Congress party. The obvious gainer was the BJP which swept the mayoral elections by winning at six out 12 places and was leading at four seats. As a consolation, even candidates supported by the BSP and SP won one mayoral seat each, though they do not have urban base. When compared to 2006, the BJP increased tally from eight to 10 but the Congress, which had won three seats, drew blank. It lost in Bareilly and Jhansi from where it won in Lok Sabha polls. The Congress could not even win in nagar palika and jila panchayat elections in Nehru-Gandhi bastion of Amethi and Rae Bareli. People of these constituencies also came to know that they were being  deceived  for years in the name of Gandhi family

The mayoral elections were important for the BJP and the Congress because they chose to contest it on their symbol, while the BSP and SP opted to stay away leaving on party workers to the candidate of their choice. For the BJP, the victory came as a booster after dismal performance in assembly polls held in February in which it won only 47 seats, out of total 403. The party successfully defended its bastion Lucknow, Varanasi and Agra. In Lucknow, BJP candidate  was re-elected as mayor with a margin of 1.17 lakh votes, highest ever in urban local bodies elections in the state. But for the Congress, the decline continued after the pathetic performance in assembly election in which it won only 28 seats despite Rahul Gandhi's high voltage campaign. This win certainly  boost the moral of BJP Cader , which was licking its wound after the humiliating defeat  in assembly election
