In the name of reviewing the poll outcome they are indulging in mud-slinging and not reaching at the right conclusion. They have not learned any lesson from the past when differences within the BJP and
Samajwadi Party led to the humiliating ouster of Kalyan Singh in 1999 and the rout of Akhilesh Singh Yadav in the 2017 election.

The state appears to be heading towards the 1999-like situation when the National Democratic Alliance won the post-Kargil War election, but the BJP’s tally was reduced to half—from 58 in the previous election of 1998 to 29. (The undivided UP then used to have 85 seats). The then chief minister Kalyan Singh, otherwise the hero of Babri Masjid demolition was shown the door immediately after the dismal performance of the saffron party in the election. Kalyan was the chief minister of the state on December 6, 1992, when the mosque was razed to the ground.

Similarly, Hindu Hriday Samrat Yogi Adityanath is being cornered after the party’s poor show in the election held just after the consecration of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, where too the party lost.
So, if the simmering tension between the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Kalyan Singh let down the party in an otherwise favorable post-Kargil atmosphere, the cold war between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Yogi this time may lead to the ouster of Uttar Pradesh CM. Even if this does not happen and Yogi manages to survive, an amicable solution is not in sight. Needless to remind, the BJP lost the 2002 Assembly election and could regroup itself and win again only 12 years later in 2014 Lok Sabha election.

In between the humiliated and dejected Kalyan went to the extent of joining hands with arch-rival Mulayam, whom he had in the past accused of massacring Kar Sevaks in Ayodhya.
