Voters are Smart Enough, UP Polls is Classic Example!

The recent Uttar Pradesh election has been in the news before and after the elections. Before the elections, it was predicted that the other parties would make it tough for the saffron party and make it work hard for the win. But the election result came quite the opposite.
The Bharatiya Janata Party had won the elections for the second consecutive term and under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the saffron party had won the elections quite easily.
The Hyderabad-based party All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen(AIMIM) which is on a mission to expand its footprint in other states suffered a humiliating defeat. As the voters did not prefer the Muslim party.
The AIMIM had tried its luck in 100 Assembly seats and had managed to get just 0.43 percent of the vote share. Despite contesting the elections from Muslim-dominated areas, the party could not win at least a single seat.
The vote percentage recorded by the Hyderabad-based party is less than NOTA and the gap between NOTA and AIMIM is quite high. While nota got 0.69 percent, AIMIM's percentage is a mere 0.43 percent.
AIMIM is always accused of polarising the votes and asking for votes based on their religion, in the previous elections in Bihar and other states, the party did the same and had managed to get a few seats.
However, the situation of Uttar Pradesh is different, the majority of Muslims had ditched the AIMIM and voted for BJP. The election result also busted the myth that only Hindus vote for BJP and the party cannot get votes from other religions.
The election result is also sending a strong message that polarisation of votes doesn't help all the time and voters are smart enough to cast their votes looking at various parameters like the development in the state and the future of the territory.
While the AIMIM led by Asaduddin Owaisi could not create any impact, the other parties that are against the BJP are alleging that the AIMIM had worked for the BJP and that's why BJP had managed to record a landslide victory in the largest state in terms of population.
