If the 2022 elections are essentially a bipolar struggle, the political dynamic may shift, with greater possibilities for both the BJP and the SP. And, with elections being conducted in the shadow of another Covid strain, the pandemic's effect on millions of aam voters in the state may play a role in addition to the normal metrics of caste, community, and sub-region. Leaders getting ready for u...
