Kanpur, 10 May (HS). In the year 1999, Shri Prakash Jaiswal of Congress had worked to break the spell of BJP by defeating Jagtivir Singh Drona. So in 2014, his revenge was completed by breaking the spell of Congress by defeating Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi, one of the strong leaders of the org.zation, by a huge margin. After this, BJP’s Satyadev Pachauri won the next election. This time BJP has placed its bet on new face Ramesh Awasthi on Kanpur seat. The challenge is to maintain the victory over journalist Ramesh Awasthi.
So far, Congress has won the Kanpur Nagar seat six times. BJP has won five times. If BJP wins this time, it will be a hat-trick for the second time and it will also be equal to Congress. This time Congress and BJP have placed bets on new faces. Both never won the election. Although the org.zation of BJP is very strong. This is his biggest strength for victory. Congress has a familiar face Alok Mishra, but the org.zation is weak. Alok Mishra has contested the assembly elections once. His wife Vandana Mishra has once contested the mayor’s election. Along with this, his identity remains due to his existence of many educational institutions in Kanpur. Apart from this, there is support from many parties including SP, AAP and Left. BJP candidate Ramesh Awasthi is a journalist by profession and belongs to the Sangh Parivar. The biggest strength for his victory is the strength of the org.zation and the guarantee of Modi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also done road shows in his favor. Modi wave is still intact in Kanpur like 2014. Political people say that Congress is strong in terms of candidate face. Elections can be won on the wave of org.zation and party. Ramesh Awasthi has both.
