Thus actually in UP, Mahagathbandhan is as much an opportunity for BJP, as it is danger.
What BJP need in UP is:
1. Cultivate local leaders.
Currently, Modi has become a one trick pony for BJP. I order to win, BJP need good local leaders.
2. Attract non-Yadavs OBCs towards BJP, and consolidate its upper caste vote bank.
When BJP won an absolute majority in UP, it did on back of non-Yadav OBCs like Lodhs. If BJP want to win power, it would need to attaract non-Yadav OBCs back into its fold. There is no alternative to that.
3. Communal polarisation.
Muslims always ,close to 95%, vote in same direction. It is not only a requirement ,but duty, of BJP to mobilise Hindus to undermine Muslim mobilization. Polarisation is needed and would work in West-UP. Here there is a serious amount of pent-up anger against both Muslims and Seculars, part of which has been contributed by Secular media bullying Hindus of West-UP for half a year or so. "Beef Lynching" and "Indian intolerant" issue may make feel liberals sitting in drawing rooms of Delhi feel all smug, but a common Hindu of Dadari ,who has been on the receiving end of that propaganda, would vote for BJP ,out of spite for seculars, irrespective of his caste.
