Modi’s charisma seals the gathbandhan’s fate as the BJP wrests the state with some losses
In the 2014 Lok Sabha election, the BJP’s Smriti Irani lost Amethi to Congress president Rahul Gandhi by 107,000 votes. A determined Irani dug in her heels, camping in the constituency for months together, interacting with locals and carefully planning a social engineering strategy even as Rahul toured the country and the world. To make inroads into the Dalit-Muslim social alliance in Amethi, Irani selected Suresh Pasi, BJP MLA from Jagdishpur (assembly constituency in Amethi) and a local Dalit leader. The indomitable Pasi was even appointed a minister in the Yogi Adityanath cabinet.

Mohsin Raza, the lone Muslim minister in the Adityanath cabinet, was made in-charge of Amethi district.
