The team of Jan Ki Baat visted the Riverfront Park in Lucknow to speak to the state┬Тs citizen about the upcoming elections. A tea-stall owner revealed her ┬Сman ki baat┬Т over ┬Сchai pe charcha┬Т with Pradip Bhandari, the Founder of Jan Ki Baat. The stall accepts PayTM, an online wallet that allows customers to pay digitally. The mode has been operational for a month now to meet the clients┬Т demands for online payment mediums. The owner believed that it is too soon to make a comment about who┬Тs going to win in UP; the BJP┬Тs momentum is quite strong but the Akhilesh Yadav and Congress alliance, too, is keen on avoiding any risk.
Uttar Pradesh Elections 2017 are soon becoming a source for redemption; not only for the BSP but also for the Congress, which is banking on its before-scams image. Congress has already formed a pre-poll alliance with the Samajwadi Party. The BJP, too, would welcome a win in UP as a public validation of its two and half year rule at the Centre. UP┬Тs 403 seat assembly will open itself as a battleground for many political leaders.
.Akhilesh Yadav┬Тs alliance with the Congress has been disapproved by many because of lack of popularity that the Congress enjoys nationally. Both BSP and BJP are yet to declare who they┬Тre fielding as candidates for the post of Chief Minister. What the public mood swings towards and for, will be known soon.
