One of the reasons I understand from anecdotal experience of people from UP , the BJP performed the way it did in the recently concluded elections was the ordinary person there was very inconvenienced by YA's adherence to the law viz : in ensuring proper attendance & more importantly punctuality by state employees , coming down with a heavy hand on illegal construction , strict implementation of the anti copying laws etc .
The deadline to declare the assets has now been extended to 30 September. Of the 8.47 lakh UP government employees, 6.02 lakh have already submitted their details on the portal.
The order regarding this was issued in August last year with an initial deadline of 31 December 2023. However, the deadline was extended multiple times, earlier to 30 June, then to 31 July and 31 August.
Apparently UP residents were more comfortable with YA cracking down on the mafia or on illegal Muslim encroachment including punitive action against errant social behaviour or outright criminal behaviour but wanted their petty privileges to be treated as sacrosanct.
Perhaps UP denizens can better explain the phenomenon.
