Effective management of COVID-19 is emerging as an important factor in the Bharatiya Janta Party’s electoral pitch in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, something the Opposition has not been able to counter aggressively.
In the run-up to the Assembly elections, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has been visiting COVID dedicated hospitals in different districts of western Uttar Pradesh that will vote in the first and second phases of elections. He supervises the preparations to control the third wave, shares the number of active cases and vaccinations completed in the district with the local media and then holds political rallies in the Assembly constituencies of the district.
