These are the reasons why BJP lost in Ayodhya | The biggest discussion in the country, why did BJP lose in Ayodhya: People said- whatever votes they got, they gave in the name of Modi; The MP is not worth this - Ayodhya News

The BJP lost the elections in Ayodhya where the eyes of the entire country were fixed. The public opinion received in Ram Nagari surprised everyone. From the Rath Yatra of 90 to the 2024 elections, the party put in all its efforts in the seat that was the core of the BJP. Not a thousand or two thousand crores, but 32 thousand crores

The consecration of Ram Mandir made headlines all over the world. 500 years old history was changed. PM Modi himself came here to do a road show. Yogi held 5 public meetings. But the political magic did not work. The public’s resentment was becoming vocal inside. From local BJP leaders to the high command, no one could sense its effect. The BJP leaders here kept showing good management to PM Modi. But something else was going on inside. This spark of protest had started as soon as the candidate was finalized.

Why did BJP lose in its biggest stronghold? What was the anger among the people? Why couldn’t Modi understand the pulse of the people? To find answers to these questions, Daily newspaper The team of entered the ground. Read the full report…

People said- happy with the temple, angry with the MP
We met Rananjay Shastri in the market on the road leading to Hanumangarhi. Why did BJP not get votes? He says- BJP did not lose because people do not like Modi-Yogi. People are happy with the construction of Ram temple. But they are angry with the current MP Lallu Singh. You can understand this way that the 4.99 lakh votes that BJP has received have gone to PM Modi, not Lallu Singh.

People are troubled in Ayodhya for the last 2 years. VIPs come, but we get stuck in the closed roads. People get imprisoned in their homes. Our relatives get stuck at the borders of the city. They are not allowed to come inside. This is the reason why people made SP win.

BJP got votes from the city, villagers turned towards SP
After going a little further from here, we met Omkar Pandey. He told- BJP has got less votes in the village. People of the city have voted. The reason for this is considered to be the dictatorship of the officers and the indifference of the MP. The officers think that they are in direct contact with the Chief Minister. They do not even listen to the problems of the people. The people of the village are more troubled. You can see, the votes of the people of the village must have gone to SP.

Anger over breaking of house and shop
Advocate Ajay Kumar Tiwari, standing at a distance, could not stop himself. He says- Babaji’s bulldozer must have been winning in the whole of UP, but in Ayodhya, it has also been a big reason for the defeat. So many houses and shops were demolished. Will people be happy? Then the boys were upset due to the paper leak. Those who thought that they would get government jobs were very disappointed. Here, there is no law and order, only master law is being run.

Small shopkeepers are angry due to loss of livelihood
Now we reached Civil Line. We met Ajay Yadav here. He said- People have lost their livelihood. The MP did not participate in anyone’s happiness or sorrow. No one got help. If someone’s cart is removed under the pretext of VIP movement, he is not even allowed to set up a shop. There is no one to listen to his problem. Ram Mandir belongs to everyone. Everyone has faith in it, then why should the poor man be worried? This is the reason why the election results have not come in BJP’s favour.

Ramesh says- People think that the people of Ayodhya defeated their own party. But nobody knows the reality. When BJP had to win, we made them win. But how long will this continue? Milkipur MLA Avdhesh Prasad may be from SP. But he listens to the people of entire Ayodhya. People cannot even meet BJP officials.

Caste equations dominate
Katha Vachak Dr. Chandranshu Maharaj says- Caste equations dominated the elections. This time BJP got only 40% votes. The main reason for the defeat in Ayodhya was the public problem. On which the public representatives did not pay attention.

Mahant Avdhesh Das of Ayodhya says- The decision of Ram Mandir came during Modi’s tenure, Bhoomi Pujan was done and a grand Ram Mandir is being built. On the defeat of the BJP candidate, the Mahant says- ‘Tinhi Sohai Na Awadh Badhawa. Chorhi Chandini Raati Na Bhava’. The residents of Ayodhya are not related to anyone. Here a narrative has been spread against the candidate.

Political Expert

What were the factors behind BJP’s big defeat in Ayodhya?
Senior journalist Anand Mohan Pandey says – There are many reasons for BJP’s defeat. First, the overconfidence of the BJP candidate. These people kept thinking that Ram Mandir has been built. Now they will definitely win. Second reason, caste equation. The SP candidate was from the Dalit community. He got 90% of the 1.5 lakh votes of his caste. Apart from this, he also got votes from backward, Yadav-Muslim.

Did the Ram Mandir issue not arise in Ayodhya?
Senior journalist BN Das says- After the Pran Pratishtha in Ayodhya, it seemed that this time BJP would get a huge lead, but it did not happen. Because even earlier the issue of Ram temple was not dominant here. This is the reason that this time also it did not have much effect in the elections.
