When asked about this shift, BSP national spokesperson Sudhindra Bhadoria told, “We have always been following the motto of ‘sarva dharma sambhaav’ (equality of all religions), we have been working on the policy of ‘sabka sath sabka vikas’, opposite to the widespread perception about us. Notably, he also promised a grand temple of Lord Ram if BSP comes to power.
SHREE DURGA SAPTASHATI PATH SERIES
However, BSP’s shift became visible when party’s general secretary Satish Mishra addressed a series of Prabuddh Sammelans, and before each of his speeches, he offered prayers at the temples while praising Hindu gods and goddesses. The indication comes with the mention of Mathura, Varanasi and Ayodhya in her speech. In her quest to become the chief minister for a fifth time, Mayawati is aware that the Dalit-Brahmin social engineering, which earned her a thumping victory in 2007, might not be enough to take on the BJP this time. What they are doing now, is they are conflating Hindutva with Hinduism,” party spokesperson Anshul Avijit told Mayawati’s major shift
Such kind of politics is done by the BJP, they polarise people in the name of religion. We neither dispute nor create divide among people in the name of religion. “Congress has never been into politics of religion. While political observers and opposition see this as a desperate bid by the Congress hoping for a turnaround, the party says there is nothing unusual in this as it firmly believed in harmony of all religions. She even chanted ‘Jai Mata Di’ before beginning her speech. She began her address by reciting a verse from Durga Saptashati as she said she was on fast during the Navratri festival. While the temple run strategy helped him improve the party’s tally, it did not earn him a victory.įive years on, Priyanka donned the avatar of a “devout Hindu woman” with tilak and sandalwood paste on her forehead and a Rudraksh bead necklace, as she addressed the Kisan Nyay rally in Varanasi last week. Rahul’s approach of soft Hindutva was on display during the UP and Gujarat assembly polls in 2017 when he dressed up in dhoti and kurta with his forehead smeared with ‘tilak’ as he visited the temple towns of Ayodhya in UP and Dwarka in Gujarat. Priyanka Gandhi, who is leading the Herculean task of turning fortunes for the Grand Old Party which was last in power in UP between 19, is revisiting the path walked by her brother. While Priyanka Gandhi is following the same template set by Rahul Gandhi in the 2017 Gujarat and UP polls, a surprise shift in the poll pitch comes from BSP supremo Mayawati who recently said that projects and schemes started by the BJP government in religious places like Ayodhya, Varanasi and Mathura will continue unhindered if her party comes to power.
