BJP workers on their turnout struggles: A ground report from Unnao | The Caravan

A persistent narrative in Uttar Pradesh during the first four phases of the 2024 general election has been the low turnout in the state, which has lagged behind the national average by around ten percentage points. Of the 39 seats to have voted so far, only six have seen their turnout increase over their 2019 level, and just 11 had more than sixty percent of their registered voters casting their ballots. Traditionally seen as a sign of satisfaction with-or, at least, indifference to-the incumbent government, the turnout is being interpreted by many observers as the formidable Bharatiya Janata Party machine, which was instrumental in securing landslide victories in the state’s last four elections, struggling to get its supporters to the polling booths.
Ground reports suggest that, despite the euphoria over the consecration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, on 22 January, there is widespread discontent among party workers over the distribution of tickets, the marginalisation of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the perception that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would use another landslide victory to cut the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Adityanath, down to size. The BJP’s ubiquitous panna pramukhs-party workers charged with reaching out to all the voters on a single page of the electoral rolls-as well as RSS cadre, whose mass mobilisation during the 2014 campaign laid the groundwork for Modi’s rise to power, have reportedly been missing in action in several constituencies.
