Uttar Pradesh, as we know, is the best developed state in India. Especially when an election is due.It finds its airports are better than China’s. In fact it turns out that its airports are China’s. At least according to several ministers and members and supporters of the BJP.Its dams are also the best. Better than those in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In fact, it was an exact dam in Andhra and Telangana that is UP’s best.Its flyovers are the best. Better than those in Kolkata. In fact, it was one of Kolkata’s flyovers.To you and me, the new terminus of Beijing’s Daxing Airport may be in Beijing, the Srisailam Dam may span the Krishna river between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and the Maa Flyover may be a new icon in Kolkata’s urban landscape. But this is splitting hairs.And this is UP. And this is the BJP’s biggest work at hand and for the last seven years: to win elections by any means possible. What are a few lies, you may argue. Politicians are like that. People are all liars at some point or other. The Congress did the same in 500 BC, the DMK in 1122 AD, the Left in 600 AD.
