Politics of colour thrives in Hindi belt
(1º§) Uttar Pradesh's chief ministers are known to go into
an overdrive to promote their party flags' colours. BSP's
Mayawati painted Lucknow blue, SP's Akhilesh Yadav
replaced it with a dash of green and red and now it's
Yogi's turn to go saffron.
(2º§) Lucknow: As soon as you alight from a train or an
aircraft in Lucknow, the first signage that greets you,
says, "Muskuraiye ki aap Lucknow mein hain." The colour
of this signage will also inform you about the party that is
in power in Uttar Pradesh. Lucknow is, perhaps, the only
state capital in the country where the politics of colour
dominates the development projects of the city.
(3º§) The politics of colour was initially started by the
Bahujan Samaj Party in 2007 when the party came to
power with a comfortable majority on its own and blue
become the dominant colour of official signages.
(4º§) Prof Ramesh Dixit, a retired professor in political
sciences, explained the competition among parties to
popularise their preferred party colour. "The parties that
pursue politics of colour want their voters to identify with
colours. This makes it easy for them to campaign with
T-shirts and gamchas in the colours of their parties," he
said. "The bureaucracy has played a major role in fuelling
this colour politics. They are the ones who go into an
overdrive to please their political bosses. They use this to
justify the huge amounts of money spent in replacing
signages and re-painting railings and gates," he said.
(5º§) For Ms Mayawati, the brain behind colour branding
in politics, her election as chief minister was a time to go
blue - the party's official and flag colour - with a
vengeance. All road railings and signage were painted
blue, traffic constables also got a change of uniform -
white shirt and blue pants in place of an all white dress.
Incidentally, the colour of traffic cops' has remained so
since then. Under Mayawati's rule, the official phone
directory also came with a blue cover and government
hoardings had a blue background. The stages for all
programmes attended by the then chief minister, were
draped in blue.
(6º§) The BSP rallies were known for men painting their
bodies in blue and carrying blue elephant replicas. When
the Samajwadi Party came to power in 2012, the first
decision taken by its chief minister Akhilesh Yadav was to
change the colour of official signages to green. The blue
colour flew off the railings and road dividers and an
emphatic green replaced it. Stages for official events had
bold red and green backdrop, and the official phone
directory turned green.
(7º§) When the BJP came to power last year, chief
minister Yogi Adityanath shunned the rival parties'
colours and started the saffron revolution. Spotting the chief minister's penchant for all things saffron, the state
bureaucracy went into an overdrive and got saffron
curtains, saffron towels, saffron diaries, saffron hoardings
and saffron flowers for government programmes and
offices. State minister Siddhartha Nath Singh defended
the saffron wave and said, "Saffron is a colour that
denotes positivity. The rising sun is saffron in colour.
What is the problem if we want to bring positivity into the
government?"

Gabarito: A
Fundamento decisivo: A pergunta pedia o assunto do texto, e a pista decisiva está no título e no 4º parágrafo, que nomeiam a 'politics of colour' e falam em 'competition among parties to popularise their preferred party colour'.
Tema central: política de cores partidárias
Análise das alternativas
A
Certa
A alternativa A está certa porque corresponde ao tema central explicitado no texto: a disputa entre partidos para popularizar sua cor preferida. Isso aparece de forma direta no título e é formulado no 4º parágrafo, que menciona a competição entre partidos para popularizar sua cor partidária.
B
Errada
Errada porque 'colour' no texto não se refere a raça nem a racismo. O conteúdo trata de identidade visual partidária e da troca de cores em placas, railings, cortinas e materiais oficiais, o que torna essa leitura semanticamente incompatível com o texto.
C
Errada
Errada porque publicidade política aparece, no máximo, como aspecto secundário ligado à campanha e à identificação visual do eleitor. O foco principal não é a ascensão da propaganda política, mas a disputa simbólica entre partidos para marcar o poder por meio de suas cores.
D
Errada
Errada porque o texto não desenvolve conflitos político-econômicos como assunto central. A menção a gastos públicos surge apenas como crítica acessória à substituição de placas e pinturas, sem transformar isso no eixo temático do texto.
Pegadinha da questão
A confusão real era ler 'colour politics' literalmente como racismo, ou deslocar o foco para publicidade política ou gasto público, quando o texto centraliza a competição partidária pela imposição de cores.
Dica para questões semelhantes
- Em questão sobre assunto do texto, procure primeiro o título e o trecho em que o autor nomeia explicitamente o fenômeno discutido.
- Diferencie tema central de exemplos: azul, verde, vermelho e açafrão são provas do tema, não temas autônomos.
- Elimine alternativas que transformam aspecto secundário do texto em assunto principal.
- Quando uma palavra permitir leitura ambígua, confirme seu sentido pelo contexto antes de marcar a opção.
