On October 29, HM Shah had visited Lucknow to flag off the mega BJP membership drive ahead of the UP polls. While addressing the membership drive, he had countered Samajwadi Party’s taunt on the deadline for Ram Mandir stating “foundation for temple has been put.”

The ruling BJP is fighting under the leadership of its incumbent Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. While SP chief Akhilesh Yadav has announced that he will not fight the polls personally, the party is expected to ally with smaller political parties for the 2022 Assembly polls. Mahan Dal, NCP, SBSP are some of the names that have emerged. Meanwhile, BSP’s Mayawati has already announced that her party will fight polls alone in UP and Uttarakhand, and with Akali Dal in Punjab. Congress has campaigned under the leadership of Priyanka Gandhi in the state, aiming for its solo return.
