Ranchi: Induction of 51 year old man Annapurna DeviThe Narendra Modi cabinet surprised many other candidates and leaders of the saffron camp when he was elected MP from Koderma for the first time. JharkhandBut political experts said the move is in view of bolstering the OBC vote bank, which is a big part of the BJP’s mission 2024 after the tribals.
Though the BJP swept the UPA in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections by winning 12 of 14 parliamentary seats, six months down the line, the saffron party was ousted from power in the assembly elections that year, despite giving the state its first stable of the entire five. Government for the term of one year. A major reason for the party’s defeat during the 2019 assembly elections was the division of OBC votes due to a split between the BJP and its longtime ally, the AJSU-P. Both the parties fought separately and got a big blow in the pocket of OBC.
According to the 2011 Census, “While Scheduled Tribes (STs) constitute 26.2 per cent, OBCs constitute about 46.1 per cent of Jharkhand’s population. Although we had an OBC chief minister (Raghubar Das) between 2014 and 2019, the BJP was in power for a full five years.” Despite ruling, the party failed to consolidate that share in its favour.After its defeat of Raghubar Das in the assembly elections and the party’s ouster from power, the BJP needs a strong OBC face for its political endeavours. This is the only reason why Annapurnaji can be included in all MPs,” commented a senior party leader and an MLA on condition of anonymity.
Another BJP worker said that after today’s development, BJP has addressed two big vote banks – Adivasi and OBC.
“While former chief minister and Khunti MP Arjun Munda has already been a Union minister in the current Modi government, Annapurna’s entry testifies to the fact that the party is trying to woo the likes among Yadavs, Kurmis and OBCs in this state with its other members. Working to strengthen Gray Pocket. . Also, a message has been sent that Jharkhand is an important state for the BJP as part of its integration in the past,” he said.
Annapurna left the RJD and joined the BJP just before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, of which she was also the state president. Her entry into politics came in 1998 after the death of her husband Ramesh Prasad Yadav, who was then a minister. RJD Rabri Devi led government in undivided Bihar. Since then, she has represented the Koderma assembly seat four times on an RJD ticket and has become one of the long-time close aides of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad.
BJP’s decision to field him from Koderma parliamentary seat proved right when he won against veteran Babulal Marandi (now defunct JVM-P) by a huge margin of over 4 lakh votes. Since then, there has been no looking back for her, even though she has always been low-profile within the state unit, several people said. He successfully developed great equations with the central leadership mainly with National President JP Nadda and Bhupinder Yadav, who was in charge of Jharkhand affairs and who has been inducted into the Union Cabinet today.
“His immediate rise as BJP national vice-president months after he joined was a testament to the party’s faith in him. Later he was also made co-in-charge of Haryana and was tasked to look after Bihar during the assembly elections in the areas bordering Jharkhand. The NDA managed to win a good number of seats in their command areas,” said an insider, adding that his entry into Team Modi may no longer be a good omen for former chief minister Raghubar Das.
“It was he (Das) who brought him to bring Koderma in the party ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. Later, Das lost his seat in the assembly elections. After Annapurna’s induction into the cabinet, whatever little aspirations or prospects he (Das) was lobbying for a berth as part of political rehabilitation is over. If the BJP high command wanted, it could have easily prepared Das for the central role by giving him a Rajya Sabha ticket from any safe place.
On the fresh induction, BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdev said, “The entire state BJP thanks the PM and the party high command for the fresh induction, that too a woman.” This proves that any dedicated party worker can Growth through the ranks with your work. The presence of two MPs in the Modi government will definitely help in the overall development of the state.
