Effect of Covid waves on the elections –
The ongoing pandemic situation has badly affected all parts and a parcel of a routine normal life as well as it has affected the routine conduct of the events as well all across the world. It is because of the situation that the election rallies are modified to fit in the protocol so that India does not end up in a worrying scenario once again. During the second wave elections were held in Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, and Tamil Nadu it was back in March -April 2020.
This time during the UP elections Omicron is here with the third wave of Covid -19, as a result, BJP is planning virtual rallies. All the physical marches and rallies were banned by the election commission till 15th Jan 2022. Celebrations after the results are also not allowed as per the guidelines given by the election commission.
How Yogi Adityanath is on the beneficial side?
Well, we all know how well connected BJP is as it comes to the digital ways and means of connection. So, yes the virtual rallies can be a great advantage for him if we look at it that way.
