In West UP, ‘crackdown’ on Oppn a concern, but no reason not to vote BJP
Among many voters across several Western Uttar Pradesh constituencies bound for the Lok Sabha polls in the first phase on April 19, there seems to be some resonance for the Opposition parties in the wake of recent actions of the Central agencies, ranging from thearrests of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and ex-Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren to the Income Tax department’s freezing of the Congress party’s bank accounts, among other cases. But, while they question the timing of these actions, they don’t find it a strong enough reason to vote against the ruling BJP in the polls.
