Sleep is going to be fleeting until U.P. election results ngl

U.P. is mine on a personal level. I've lived there. I've loved there. U.P. is where I truly became an adult. I've traveled from Ghaziabad to Renusagar in khatara buses and smelly trains.

It's not theoretical for me. It's personal. I want my U.P. back!

I'm a proud Maharashtrian but when Maharashtra went for BJP, I wasn't really that shook. I know Maharashtra has that sanghi tendency. It's a "purple" state where hindutva was born.

But U.P.? Massive diverse chaotic loving U.P.? Going not just BJP but Bisht BJP? That shook me.

Not just going BJP but going BJP by those margins? My U.P.?

Unacceptable.

I just want those days back when we just argued if sp is worse or bsp or Congress. And BJP isn't in the equation.

Cos if we lose U.P. To them again, they'll be unstoppable. It'll be genocide.

I don't need U.P. to change. Because U.P. is NOT as fundamentally sanghi as Gujarat or even Maharashtra. BJP has been only winning cos First Past The Post. Just some realignments should bring my U.P. back. Hopefully.

Or that Bisht will go pol pot.

It's weird to me when people from way sanghier states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, Delhi throw shade at bechara Uttar Pradesh, which trust me, is way more progressive than you think. Not exactly Scandinavia but you know what I mean.

Stop dumping on my U.P. 😡

I mean if Tamil Nadu or Kerala point at U.P. and laugh, I get. They are more progressive and Bisht has been insulting them non stop and tried to flip them.

But all other states, very much glass houses and stones.
