As a counter to BJP’s ‘If we divide, we will be cut’, SP gave ‘If we unite, we will win’
All the political parties are busy finalizing their preparations for the by-elections in Uttar Pradesh. In this election, different parties are also resorting to slogans to reach out to the voters. Earlier, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had given the slogan ‘Bantenge to Katenge’, while now the Samajwadi Party also seems to be joining this sequence. The SP has given the slogan ‘Judenge to Jeetenge’ as a reply to the BJP’s slogan ‘Bantenge to Katenge’. The party has also put up many posters with the slogan ‘Judenge to Jeetenge’ in Lucknow.

BJP replied to SP
In response to SP’s slogan ‘Jutenge to Jeetenge’, BJP said that those who have always tried to divide, are now talking about uniting. When CM Yogi gave the slogan ‘Bantege to Katoege’, now everyone is talking about uniting. If you want to unite, then you will have to work on the mantra of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas and take everyone along. This is not going to happen just by putting up posters for show.
A few days ago, BJP gave the slogan ‘Bantege to Kantege’
“Bantege to Katege…”, this slogan of UP CM Yogi Adityanath proved to be a boon for the party in Haryana elections as well. PM Narendra Modi also supported it in a program in Maharashtra. Now even RSS is seen supporting this issue. Let us tell you that UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath used this slogan for the first time on 26 August. At that time, he gave this slogan in the context of attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh. However, now in this election environment, this slogan has become like a mantra of BJP. The first test of this slogan is going to be in the UP by-elections and the elections of Maharashtra and Jharkhand. Only after the results of these elections, it will be clear how much this slogan has benefited BJP in the elections of these states.
SP will contest on all 9 seats in the by-election
SP President Akhilesh Yadav had announced that now his party will contest by-elections on all 9 seats of UP. Earlier he had left two seats for Congress, but Congress wanted more seats. Voting will be held on all nine seats of UP on November 13 and the results will come on November 23. Less than two days are left for the last date of nomination. October 25 is the last date. Samajwadi Party has announced the names of its candidates on six out of nine seats. Now the names of the remaining three seats can also be announced soon.
