Lok Sabha Election: INDI Alliance, which has faced hiccups in West Bengal and Bihar, may face a setback in Uttar Pradesh also. According to reports, Rashtriya Lok Dal President Jayant Chaudhary has met senior BJP leaders in Delhi. Jayant Chaudhary is currently a part of the opposition alliance, but it is not decided for how long he will remain in it. The special thing is that Akhilesh Yadav has announced an alliance with Rashtriya Lok Dal in Uttar Pradesh, and has also asked to leave 7 seats for Jayant, but this discussion has started after the secret meeting of RLD supremo with BJP leaders. That soon he too may change sides. Come, let us know what effect this will have on political equations if this happens:

INDI Alliance will get a big blow

If Jayant Chaudhary changes sides and joins BJP, it will be a big blow to the INDI Alliance. Even if there is no major increase in NDA seats due to Jayant Choudhary joining BJP, the departure of an important ally in Uttar Pradesh to NDA will harm the morale of the opposition alliance. The special thing is that while on one hand Akhilesh Yadav had announced to give 7 seats to Jayant, there is news that RLD leaders can agree to only 3-4 seats to join BJP. In such a situation, it can be understood that in the eyes of Jayant, how high are the chances of BJP's victory.

NDA will become stronger in Western UP

RLD is considered to have a good hold in western Uttar Pradesh, also known as 'Jatland'. In many seats, party supporters decide the difference between victory and defeat. In such a situation, if Jayant Chaudhary joins hands with BJP, then it will be very difficult for INDI Alliance, or to be more precise, Samajwadi Party, to defeat NDA in this area. This is the reason that as soon as the news of Jayant changing sides came out, Akhilesh Yadav, Dimple Yadav and Shivpal Singh Yadav rejected it outright. He termed the news of alliance between RLD and BJP as baseless.

BJP does not want to take any risk

The alliance with Jayant Chaudhary in Uttar Pradesh means that BJP does not want to take any chances this time. BJP is in a very strong position in UP and according to all opinion polls it can win 62 out of 80 seats. But the alliance with Jayant Chaudhary will have an impact on entire Uttar Pradesh and will make BJP stronger than before. It is learned that BJP wanted Jayant to merge his party, but RLD leaders were not ready for it. Political pundits say that BJP can give 3-4 seats to Jayant Chaudhary and an announcement in this regard can be made soon.

What will Akhilesh do if this happens?

If Jayant Chaudhary decides to go with NDA before the Lok Sabha elections, then many problems will arise for SP supremo Akhilesh Yadav. Samajwadi Party is also very strong in western Uttar Pradesh, but leaving it with RLD will not send the right message among its voters and the party may face difficulties. At the same time, a message will be sent to other parts of the state that Jayant has changed sides only after seeing the weak prospects of INDI Alliance, and in such a situation, a large part of the floating voters can turn to NDA instead of Akhilesh and the opposition alliance.
