WILL 2019 ELECTIONS BE FOUGHT WITH CASTE WEAPONS?
Will 2019
election-battle be fought with casteist
weapons ?
JAG MOHAN
THAKEN FROM CHANDIGARH
Already
having nibbled by the caste venom spreaders during the Jat reservation stirs ,
will Haryana have to face a new bite of
abhorrent caste-based method to fetch
votes ? After seeing the ineffectiveness of its religious weapon in
recently held elections in some states , is BJP trying to utilize the divide
and rule policy among castes to win the
race ? An advertisement (attached herewith ) , carrying the photo of a BJP Mayoral
candidate in a recently held Municipal Corporation elections on December
16,2018 alongwith the photos of Prime Minister Modi and state’s Chief Minister Manohar Lal
Khattar( A Punjabi by caste ,but always
claims to be a Haryanavi) with BJP’s
symbol printed therein , clearly shows the intention of the persons entangled
in the publication of this piece to divide the community in caste segments for
their electoral gains .
The
advertisement , requesting to vote for a BJP candidate , reads- “ Vote for BJP
, because – Got the first Punjabi CM in Haryana in 52 years . If you make a
mistake today , will not get the chance again in the next 60 years . Some
persons of a particular caste want to dethrone the Punjabi Chief Minister by
putting and firing the gun on someone else’s shoulder. Appeal of Punjabi community –Support the
Punjabi Chief Minister openly .”
Is it not
a direct violation of code of conduct by getting the advertisement published to
fetch the support for the
mayoral candidate of Karnal just
on the day of voting and requesting the
voters’ favour on caste basis . Is it
not a case of inciting caste hatred in the society during elections ? Has it
been got published without the knowledge and permission of the state chief
minister and Karnal MLA Manohar Lal
khattar? Or the party is sowing the caste-coated seeds to harvest the better crop in the forthcoming
assembly and parliamentary elections ? Who got this published ? If there is no involvement of BJP and its mayoral candidate
in its publication , will the party and the candidate dare to demand for its
vigilance enquiry ? Will the election commission take a note of it and order
its enquiry or close its eyes just to
ignore the incident ? Many
questions are raising their hands to get
the answers , but who will reply and what the reply will be , will reflect the working of election commission and
intention of BJP .
BJP’s distancing and aligning strategy
The
political analysis of the Municipal Corporation elections held in December
,2018 in Haryana reflects that BJP has a planned undeclared elusion from Jats to attract the
Non-Jats .Out of all the Mayoral
candidates fielded by BJP in the five
Municipal Corporations none was Jat. And the most surprising thing was that
despite of Jat dominated belt not even a single ward member was made its
candidate on all the 22 seats by the BJP
in Rohtak Municipal Corporation. However 9 Jat ward members got the win by
defeating BJP candidates .
The
political analysts consider that the avoidance from Jats and showing affinity
towards Non-Jats is not a current decision taken for Municipal Corporation
elections rather it’s a part of well planned policy of BJP since last four years in
Haryana. On one side the BJP’s own Member of Parliament ,Raj Kumar Saini is
driving a regular campaign of bifurcating
Jat-Non-Jat communities under his anti Jat reservation stir to oppose
reservation to Jats and the BJP high command is calmly watching its outcomes with
closed eyes .Political thinkers clearly deduce
that It is not the helplessness of the party ,
but it’s the part of party’s well thought step . On the second side the Jat
reservation demand raiser ,Yaspal Malik , President All India Jat Sangharsh
Samiti is getting full support of BJP’s union cabinet minister ,Birender Singh on all the occasions . It is the most suitable
win-win situation for BJP. By keeping alive the Jat reservation stir by
propelling the fuel to its fire dome , BJP consolidates the Non-Jats in its
favour by creating fear , threat and terror of Jats in their minds .
Krishan
Swarup Gorakhpuria ,a political thinker and social activist , says , “Since the beginning of Jat stir ,
it was the political game of BJP leadership to divide the
Jat-Non-Jat .”
IS BJP THE SOLE PARTY TO SPREAD CASTE VENOM
?
The answer
to the question is a big NO . If we look towards
the end line of the last century , when in 1990 the then Prime
Minister V P Singh’s minority government was facing the external
pressures from its allies - left parties on one hand and BJP , with an agenda
to erect its Hindu platform , on the
other . Under pressure from the both political ends , Singh was also internally confronted by the
aggressive Deputy Prime Minister ,Chaudhary Devi Lal , who was gathering a mass
following by uniting the farmers/rural community . And upto some extent Devi
Lal had succeeded in dividing the
country’s vote bank in rural v/s urban segments , which was creating the image of Devi Lal as a farmer/ rural community leader over and above the size of V P Singh. Under
the circumstances to downsize the
political height of Devi Lal and to
scatter the Hindu base of BJP , V P
Singh used the atom bomb of caste division in the shape of reservation to OBC . In his
Independence Day speech on 15th August ,1990 , Prime Minister V P
Singh announced –“In the memory of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar the government has
recently taken a decision to give
reservation to the backward classes in jobs in government and public sector .”
However , the V P Singh government had to die an unnatural death due to its
reservation decision , but the stigma of class rift is still visible and will perhaps remain always alive as a
weapon of politics in India .
Aam Aadami
Party, claiming to be a party with
difference , an emergence of Anna Hazare movement got power reigns of Delhi in the name of
providing corruption-free rule and giving a clean political atmosphere . But, the politics runs with poly -tricks and
has the least place for idealism . Seeing the other parties sailing their boats with caste and religion fuels , the Aam Aadami Party has also
switched over to caste and creed ridden
politics . Now AAP Party is beating the
drum of names deletion from voters list in Delhi alleging the BJP for caste
politics . Aam Aadmi
Party (AAP) convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal alleged that the BJP had got deleted half of the
voters from the Bania ( Kejariwal’s
caste ) community in Delhi as a part of the ongoing revision of
electoral rolls. The AAP chief alleged
that 4 lakh out of 8 lakh Bania voters had been struck off the rolls.
BJP’s representative and also hailing from Bania community , Union Minister Vijay Goel accuses Arvind Kejriwal of playing caste
politics .
In a tweet
Kejariwal asks Vijay Goel , “ Why the BJP got struck off the
4 lakh names out of 8 lakh Bania Voters
? The business of traders has failed due
to BJP’s wrong policies like GST, therefore Bania community
is not going to vote in favour of BJP this time . But, would you get struck off
their names to win ?”
Arvind
Kejriwal
@ArvindKejriwal
भाजपा ने दिल्ली के
कुल 8 लाख बनिए वोटरो
में से 4 लाख के नाम
क्यों कटवाए, जवाब दीजिए .@VijayGoelBJP
भाजपा की नोटबंदी GST जैसी ग़लत नीतियों की वजह से व्यापारियों के धंधे चौपट हो
गए। इसलिए बनिए इस बार भाजपा को वोट नहीं दे रहे। तो क्या इसका मतलब आप उनके वोट
कटवा दोगे? ऐसे जीतोगे?
Countermanding the attack
, BJP’s Vijay Goel pays in the same coin . “Bania’s of Delhi are annoyed
that Arvind Kejariwal and his party think them fools . Will the Vaish (Bania)
community believe in AAP’s allegation that BJP had got struck off their names ?
Reality is that two Vaish leaders are the ministers in BJP’s central government
.”
Vijay Goel
@VijayGoelBJP
दिल्ली के बनिए इस बात से नाराज़ हैं कि @ArvindKejriwal और उनकी पार्टी
बनियों को बेवक़ूफ़ समझती है | क्या वैश्य समाज इस बात पर विश्वास करेगा कि भाजपा
ढूंढ-ढूंढ कर उनका वोट काटेगी? जबकी सच तो यह है कि दिल्ली से दो वैश्य नेता केंद्र सरकार
में मंत्री हैं |
But, Ramesh
Thaken, a senior level Retd. Airforce Officer says, “These all r normal
moves of politics, it's good that structural changes r taking place n it's
likely to disturb many particularly those who had been part of systemic corrupt
system or their followers . BJP is doing
well, corruption is moving down south,no bomb blasts which was otherwise a
normal happening. Rest everyone has views n rightly so .”
Senior
political analyst and a former President Indian Medical Association ,Haryana Dr.Shyam Sakha Shyam says ,
“Kejariwal’s School and Hospital rally campaign will have no major effect in
vote fetching in Caste Based voting pattern in Haryana . But , his speech reminding the people the caste dividing
scenario created by other political leaders will surely divert the Bania
Community from BJP to AAP. However it will not pave the way to the power seat.
”
During his rallies Kejariwal never forgets to remind
the people of Haryana that every leader and political party has been fetching
the votes by dividing the people into caste segments .Political discussions state that however publically he shows and announces that he is
totally away from caste based politics , but he has allowed to align the caste
votes through his trusted lieutenants . Dr.
Sushil Gupta , an AAP member of Rajya Sabha
has been entrusted with the work of consolidating Bania Voters in Haryana through
Vyaparik Sammelans ( Traders Conventions ) . (Photo Enclosed )
Party’s
state president , Naveen Jaihind , a Brahmin by caste, is uniting the Brahmin
caste by organizing caste based programs
and getting himself honoured on these platforms to woo his own caste
votes . After such program in Panipat ,where Brahmins have gifted a car to
Naveen Jaihind , a latest program was
organized at Bhiwani on December 23, wherein
he was honoured with ‘Parshu Ram
Farsa’ by his caste representatives . (Photo Attached
). Brahmins worship Sage Parshu Ram , believed to be the 6th incarnation of
Shri Vishnu. , as God , who had stated to vow that He would destroy the evil Kshatriya caste
as a revenge of Brahmahatya (killing of a Brahman), 21 times.
Thus we see
that every party is sharpening its caste
weapons . At the end ,we again face the starting line question “Already having
nibbled by the caste venom spreaders during the Jat reservation stirs , will
Haryana have to face a new bite of
abhorrent caste-based weapon to
fetch votes ?”
