After the hundreds of Covid deaths in the second wave of the pandemic and unexpected results in the recently concluded panchayat elections in Uttar Pradesh, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has now decided to tread with caution.
The party will assess a candidate’s hold on the ground before giving out tickets for the 2022 UP assembly elections. The performance of the incumbent legislators, too, will also be assessed, sources said.
