Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), the umbrella body of farmers, campaigned against the ruling BJP by organising public meetings and rallies asking farmers to not vote for BJP.^[48] SKM had organised the2020–2021 Indian farmers' protest against the controversialthree farm acts which were passed by the BJP-ledUnion Government in the BJP controlledParliament of India in September 2020. These laws were eventually withdrawn by the Union government.^[48]

On 31 January 2022, the farmer leaders observed "Vishwasghat Diwas" (treachery day) across India after the Union government failed to fulfil promises that were made to the farmers during the withdrawal of agitation against three farm laws. SKM leaders have warned that the farm laws may be re-introduced if BJP wins the elections.^[49]

According to the SKM leaders the promises that BJP made to the farmers in the 2022 manifesto were also made in the 2017 election manifesto, but they were not implemented. Neither the income of the farmer was doubled nor they got Minimum support Price (MSP) for their produce.^[50]

SKM leaders launched "Mission UP and Uttarakhand" and appealed to the voters to not vote for BJP calling them anti-farmer. The appeal did not make any recommendation to vote for any specific political party. SKM's appeal was supported by 57 farmer organisations. Since the campaign rallies were banned due toCOVID-19 pandemic in India, leaflets with the appeal were handed to the villagers.^[51]

BJP's Union Agriculture MinisterNarendra Singh Tomar in December 2021, had said that BJP brought the3 agriculture amendment laws (repealed in 2021). "But the government is not disappointed. We moved a step back and we will move forward again because farmers are India's backbone."^[52]

TheINC andAAP are against the farm laws and had supported the farmers' unions during their year-long protest against the farm laws.^[53][54]

Samajwadi Party chiefAkhilesh Yadav has stated that after forming the government inUttar Pradesh, SP will not allow the implementation of any anti-farmer laws inUttar Pradesh.^[55] He warned the farmers againstBJP, and said thatBJP had withdrawn the controversial farm laws to get votes from the farmers. SP's alliance partner Rashtriya Lok Dal is also against the implementation of farm laws.^[55]

Slaughter of cow is illegal in most places in the country.^[57] The anti slaughter laws were not strictly enforced until 2014.^[58]Cows are consideredholy in Hinduism, yet the farmers regularly took their old cows to slaughter houses until the years before 2014 when BJP's Narendra Modi government won the general election.^[59]

The deadlystray cow attacks on humans and crops in both the urban and rural areas is an issue for the residents. In 2017, after coming to power, theYogi Adityanath government had promised to build cattle shelters to better manage the stray cattle.^[60] Since BJP came to power in 2017, cow slaughter has been made illegal in 18 states in India including UP.^[59] Since then the trading of male cattle has reduced due to the fear of arrest, persecution, lynching bycow vigilantes. The farmers, unable to sell them, abandon them to wander on the roads and feed on standing crops.^[61][62][63]

The Adityanath ministry in the state ofUttar Pradesh introduced a specialalcohol tax to earn money and maintain thousands of cow sheds operated by the government. TheBBC reported that the tax did not solve the problem of straycow and the cow sheds were found to be over crowded.^[59]

BJP state government claims to have provided money to the village pradhans to set up cow shelters to keep the stray cattle.Deccan Herald reported that it could not find cattle shelters in the villages ofSitapur,Lakhimpur Kheri,Hardoi andUnnao districts. Places that had cow shelters, were already full with no capacity to keep more cattle.^[64]

BJP leaders refused to accept that the stray cattle was an issue, even though the farmers consider it an issue.^[64] Speaking at a rally in Kanpur in February, PMNarendra Modi acknowledged the problem in his rally and said the Yogi government is trying to solve the problem by setting up cattle shelters.^[62]

The Samajwadi Party promised compensation of 5 Lakh ₹ for farmers who were killed by bulls.^[60] SP promised to fix the root cause of the problem, removing the fear in trading of livestock without any trouble or harassment.^[62]Akhilesh Yadav said that the farmers were forced to guard their crops to prevent it from being grazen by stray animals. He said that his government will make arrangements to take care of the cattle.^[65]

TheCongress Party promised^[45] compensation of ₹3,000 per acre for damaged crops. It also promised aGodhan Nyay Yojana along the lines of a similar scheme inChhattisgarh including the purchase of cow dung (gobar) for ₹2 per kilogram to promote organic farming and vermi-composting bySelf-Help Groups. It promised an amount of ₹500 per stray animal that is turned into a villageGaushala for a fixed period.

On 22 February, the local farmers released hundreds of cattle at the venue of the election rally inBarabanki located 40 km from the state capitalLucknow. The act was to highlight the menace of the stray cattle in the area. In aviral video of the incident, hundreds of unattended cattle were seen roaming in the open rally ground.^[66][58][67]

Lack of roads was a major poll issue for people inAmethi.^[68]

Akhilesh Yadav,Rahul Gandhi,Priyanka Gandhi Vadra campaigned on the massive increase in the price of petrol and diesel under the BJP government.Akhilesh claimed that soon after the UP elections are over the government will increase the price even more.^[65][69]

Akhilesh Yadav stated that public will not be hit with inflation if SP alliance wins the election.^[70]

Akhilesh Yadav stated that he will give jobs to people and end the problem of unemployment.^[65] He also promised early recruitment for the Police and Army.^[69]

The government's handling of theCOVID-19 pandemic in India was criticised byPriyanka Gandhi,Arvind Kejriwal andAkhilesh Yadav who stated that the people were not given the needed help. Akhilesh accused the BJP government of hiding the actual data and fudging the data of Covid related deaths.^[71][72]

In the first, third and fourth phase of election,Electronic Voter Machine (EVM) malfunction was reported at several places.^[73][74] Talking about the first phase of elections, the Additional Chief Election Officer said that the malfunctioning machines were replaced after reports of malfunctions.^[75]

On 4 March, inBasti, Uttar Pradesh, a large number ofVVPAT slips were found unattended on ground near the strong room where the EVMs were kept prior to counting.^[76][77] The slips were found by children out for playing. After the news of discovery of slips spread, a large crowd gathered that included party members and candidates along with members of the administration. According to the district officials, those slips may have been from the mock drill before election but admitted they should not have been thrown out. The administration assured investigation into the incident and action on the people involved.^[78]

On 8 March 2022, in Varanasi, a truck carrying multiple EVMs was caught by the members of the Samajwadi Party in Varanasi. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said that SP members had caught one truck while two other trucks fled. According to the guidelines of Election Commission (EC) the EVMs cannot be moved without the consent of the contesting candidates, yet the VaranasiDistrict Magistrate (DM) was transporting them without informing the local candidates.^[79] Yadav alleged that the Electronic Voting machines caught were being stolen from a EVM counting centre in Varanasi. The incident had occurred two days before the scheduled counting of votes on 10 March.^[80] Videos of the incident were also circulated on social media.^[81]

The DM of Varanasi said that the EVMs in the incident were the ones used for training. Yadav said, "Now that the EVMs have been caught, the officials will make multiple excuses". He called the candidates and party supporters to be alert to prevent any attempt of rigging during the vote counting. The SP+ alliance complained about the incident to the Election commission (EC). The EC had assured action in the incident.^[80] Yadav addressed a press conference where he accused the Election Commission officials of EVM tampering and added that he had lost trust on the EC. He said "We need to be alert if EVMs are being transported this way. This is theft. We need to save our votes. We may go to court against it but before that, I want to appeal to people to save democracy."^[79][82]

Varanasi police commissioner had admitted to lapses in the incident. Samajwadi Party had shared the video of the admission calling it an admission that EC protocol had not been followed by the officials. The Election Commission ordered action against Varanasi Additional District Magistrate and suspended him from his post for violating the rules in transportation of EVMs. According to the District Magistrate the EVMs were planned to be moved in the morning of 9 January, but the suspended Additional District Magistrate had taken them out in the previous night without providing the necessary information to others.^[83]

On 9 March, in Bareilly three boxes full of election voting material (blank postal ballot) were discovered in the garbage trucks of city municipality. The truck was in the warehouse where voting machines and ballot papers were kept.^[84] The incident video was viral in the social media.^[85] Police and district administration arrived to meet Samajwadi party members regarding the incident and assured to take actions on their complaint.^[86][87] The Election commission acted on the complaint and removed the involved election official along with the SDM from their post.^[88]

On the same day in Moradabad 2 boxes of ballot paper was found by SP members in the truck operated by municipality.^[89]

InSonbhadra district a box full of ballot papers was found in a truck accompanied by SDM's vehicle. Both vehicles were stopped outside the ballot counting center when they were trying to enter.
