Just as the euphoric fragrance of Samajwadi Party (SP)-Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) grand alliance began to waft in the air of Delhi and the heartlands of UP, the winds of change sent shivers down the spine of the BJP government, both at the Centre and in the State. As a consequence, the ruling party panicked and in panic, it lost its prudence and subsequently the plot.
Sniffing humiliation in the imminent General Elections, shenanigans of the BJP launched the leaking boat of the CBI to sail in the choppy waters of the heartlands.
A series of raids against bureaucrats and legislators of SP and BSP through the day told the story of desperation having crept the bone and flesh of the BJP. In the winter of discontent after drubbing in three Hindi Heartland states, they could only lit a flickering bonfire to warm the shivering muscles of their vanity and vox populism.
Nevertheless, the timing of the shadowy actions have terrific consequences for the BJP at the hustings. Electorates are smart enough to see through the game plan.
No matter how many strings of bow and arrow Narendra Modi led government pulls in the season, it will only end up strengthening the heart throb of heartland and former UP CM Akhilesh Yadav more.
It is simply impossible to stop the juggernaut of the charismatic socialist leader. With Behenji, the young Turk has set the ball rolling towards the resounding victory in #2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Akhilesh is a well-oiled democratic socialist, a truly admirable boy-next-door phenomenon in the home and hearts of Uttar Pradesh. His image has not been cast by Delhi media, but by the countless stories of common people’s up-liftment and a chestnut full of trophies on the scale of progress and development during the five year term of his debut tenure.
Akhilesh means true socialism. He practices motivation and peace, not discrimination and hate. He dreams of an inclusive model of governance and a society without discrimination. Either being a Chief Minister or currently as national president of Asia’s largest socialist party, he has to his credit not a single story of discrimination against any caste or community. Equality for him in democracy had been means as well as an end.
Discrimination on caste, colour, religion or gender is the first social corruption. In India. the BJP practices discrimination, not the Socialists.
When SP-BSP trounced the BJP in Gorakhpur and Phulpur, the BJP leaders had lost the balance of their mind and tongue at the same time. The grand solidarity of OBC-SC-ST-Muslims unhinged them because the feudal lords of the BJP-RSS desired to keep the above mentioned majority section of the country under the continuing bondage of poverty, deprivation, suffering, gender and caste discrimination. For centuries, caste discrimination sanctioned by the holier-than-scriptures had been a hell-hound that had gnawed at Shudras (divine slaves) in every waking moment of their lives.
First, socialist patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav and subaltern political theorist Kanshi Ram joined hands to liberate the suppressed and depressed section from the bondage. A quarter of century later, Akhilesh and Maya have broken the barriers of estrangement to realise the dream of historical unity and solidarity for restoration of the absolute power of the Bahujans of the land.
People of the heartland are wiser today. They are waiting in the wings out of desperation too, with burning fire of avenger to vote out the BJP. Masses have been impacted most by the rhetoric and pro-corporate politics of the Modi-Shah era. They are standing up for themselves.
Akhilesh and Maya are the leaders of this huge constituency which will not be browbeaten anymore. The change is coming.
Remember that no change can come if those who are impacted the most by discrimination are not willing to stand up for themselves.
