Lucknow: As Uttar Pradesh Heading towards a high-voltage election, prominently visible symbols of Hindutva can be seen in the campaign pitches of major non-BJP parties. Has the Hindutva card compelled the BJP in UP to follow the same path first during the Ram Mandir movement and then after the rise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi by 2022? Assembly elections? Political analysts respond in the affirmative.
So, while BSP chief Mayawati, in her first election rally in Lucknow on Saturday, had ‘promised’ that she would not stop the development works started in Ayodhya, Varanasi and Mathura, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi made her speech at the start of her campaign. Gave. With Durga Saptashati in Varanasi.
Even SP President Akhilesh Yadav is about to launch Vijay Yatra From the banks of the Ganges in Kanpur on Tuesday. Earlier, while addressing a public meeting in Saharanpur, the former UP CM referred to the holy book Gita. He was also visiting the Kamadgiri temple of Chitrakoot in the temple which was running for the last few months. Vimalnath Temple Buddha Temple in Farrukhabad and in Shravasti to name a few. The Aam Aadmi Party, which is contesting the UP Assembly elections for the first time, also started its campaign from Ayodhya.
Political observers say the Gandhi family-led Congress began brushing up with soft Hindutva after the Gujarat assembly elections in 2017 and continued to do so in subsequent elections, which came as a surprise to the Bahujans. Clear statement of Samaj Party supremo Mayawati that works done by BJP. If the BSP government is formed, then the government in Ayodhya, Mathura and Varanasi will continue to run uninterrupted.
While former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi Temples were running during the Gujarat elections and later during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Priyanka also started the Congress’ election campaign by visiting temples in Varanasi ahead of her speech on Sunday.
With a tilak and sandalwood paste on his forehead and a rudraksh garland and a thread tied on his right hand, he began his address at the Kisan Nyay rally in Varanasi on Sunday by reciting a verse from Durga Saptashati as he said he would fast. But she was. . He also raised the slogan ‘Jai Mata Di’ before starting his speech.
On Priyanka’s new avatar, AICC secretary Rajesh Tiwari, who conducted the Kisan Nyay rally in Varanasi, said what the BJP was doing was a propaganda, while Congress leaders including former prime ministers Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, temples and other religious places have been visited.
Samajwadi Party leader Juhi Singh said that praying for the BJP is always for the camera while it has been a regular affair with her party. “Our party never used to make temple offerings public unlike BJP leaders. SP leaders have always been visiting temples,” he said.
While the BJP has always gone full force on its Hindutva issue, pledging the grand Lord Ram temple in Ayodhya in every election manifesto, BSP chief Mayawati’s change in her speech with the mention of Mathura, Varanasi and Ayodhya is something that has changed. The political pundits have been forced to think. .
“Pradesh mein Ayodhya, Varanasi, Mathura va anya dharmik sthalon per logon ki suvidha ke liye BSP ki sarkar ke padchinhon per chalkar vartmaan bhajapa Sarkar ne abhi tak jo bhi karya shuru kiye hain aur ve abhi poore nahin hue hain hai roka nahin hue hain hai balki poora karaya jaayega (the development work underway in Mathura, Ayodhya and Varanasi under BJP government will continue unhindered if the BSP forms the government).”
The change in strategy of BSP was really visible with its General Secretary Satish Mishra Addressing a series of enlightening conferences. While before his address at all religious places, Mishra offered prayers in the temples there and praised Hindu gods and goddesses during his speeches. Mishra had also promised a grand Lord Ram temple after his party came to power, a promise also hinted at by BSP chief Mayawati.
When asked about this change, Satish Mishra said that the work done by the Mayawati-led government between 2007 and 2012, may have been forgotten by the BJP. Be it the beautification of the ghats of Saryu or the sewer line in Vrindavan, all the BSP government did it. Hindutva is not a copyright of BJP.
When Deputy CM Keshav Maurya was asked about the change in the strategy of the opposition, he said that he should join the BJP and the party will think about his future later. Asked whether Hindutva was the copyright of the BJP, Maurya said it is not, but one can see how these opposition leaders are changing colors like chameleons by looking at the mandate of the people.
A few months from now, it will be interesting to see to what extent political parties other than the BJP go to appease the Hindu votebank, as most of them still fear losing Muslim voters if they do so openly. Huh.
