I see UP as smaller image of Bharat (India), where we are first Gujarati, Marathi and Bihari e.t.c and then we are Bhartiya, in the same sense in UP we are Banarasi, Kanpuria, lakhnowi and Budelkhandi e.t.c but never a Uttar pradeshi... In-fact I have never heard name UttarPradeshi.
So there is no sense on oneness...we lack unity; and that is the reason we are poor country and thus poor state.
Politician know this fact very well, this is not all, there is one more diversity..that is religion and cast.
So UP politics is roam around three basic principle region, religion and cast. Region polarization can be seen as the voice from few section to create different state to ensure better management and growth...though it is a factor but I do not consider it as a major one. In my limited vision I see religion and cast as two big political considerable polarization point.
It is interesting phenomenon to observe how various political establishment articulate there words to attract these different section and how good they are in number calculation.
I remember few year back there was only one ruckus that was cast when a great opportunistic politician 'Sri Kanshiram' started cast based politics polarizing dalit votes.... portraying Mayawati as the dalit beti he gave a slogan "Tilak Tarju aur talwar inko maro jute char" this was very hit slogan and it gave a push to BSP in political arena.
Riding on dalit vote Mayawati became chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, but she forgot the same dalit. Because of this in very next election she had to do social networking and she started polarizing dalit and brahmin voter in her favor....she again became chief minister. This time around too she did not to any thing for her voters instead she kept her attention in making monuments.
And because of her ignorance and inability to do any thing for her voters she is going to pay heavy price in this election...because like her all the other parties are preparing to use all kind on polarization whether it is religion or cast...every one crying their hue and want to pursued voter in their favor.
This time no one is expecting clear majority mean UP is going nowhere in next five year....
I heard one writer saying that UP has not seen the worst till like Bihar that's why development is still not an agenda in UP's politics as off now...it means in next five year we are going to see those worst year and I am sure if no party is getting majority by itself then there will be fight between the collision and that will lead to painful situation for UP's inhabitants.
I just pray to god that my fellow UP wale take a regulation to vote in the favor of development ignoring all kind of bias e.g. religion.region and cast... I have taken this regulation and I will surely vote and vote for a better candidate...will you come with me....
