“Batenge to Katenge”… How big of a problem will this slogan of Yogi create in the Maharashtra-Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh by-elections?

Just a few days ago, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while conveying a message of national unity to the people at a program in Agra, said: “If we are divided, we will be divided. If we stay united, we will continue to exist.” Noble and safe. Yogi Adityanath’s statement created a lot of uproar. But days after his speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat also said the same thing in their speeches. There was nothing special about this speech though. Because here we talk about integration. Generally speaking, politicians only talk about distribution issues. When the British ruled India, they made one thing clear to the people here: if they wanted to rule, they had to divide and rule. After independence, parties across the country tried to emulate this British strategy, but only the Congress succeeded.

Now, Congress, which has been out of power for ten years, has once again made arrangements to divide the people. It is obvious that actions must be followed by reactions. During the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress tried hard to divide and largely succeeded. This is why the divide and rule of the Congress defeated the divide and rule of the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections. The BJP failed to achieve the expected success and was forced to form the government on the crutch of the middle. Two more states are now due to hold assembly elections, and many states will also hold by-elections. The most special one is that 9 seats in UP will be subject to by-elections. The issue came into focus again on Tuesday after posters of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath with “Bintoge nahi toh katoge nahi” were put up on many streets in Mumbai.

Why did Akhilesh become the attacker?

The Samajwadi Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party are competing for by-elections in nine seats in Uttar Pradesh. For the two parties, this by-election is a matter of prestige. In fact, no exaggeration. Says winning Jharkhand is not as important to the BJP as winning the UP by-election. This is why politics is abuzz with Yogi Adityanath’s statement “If you divide, you will be cut”.
The BJP’s core voters deserted the party in the Lok Sabha elections, with the result that the party failed to achieve the desired success. The party did not get Dalit votes. OBCs and upper castes also showed disdain in many places and even Rajputs did not get votes in many areas. In the Lok Sabha elections, CM Yogi’s supporters spread the news that Yogi’s votes were not distributed. In many other respects, he took no part in the campaign, but the party gave him full powers for parliamentary by-elections. This is why Yogi has put his special minister on duty for the by-election. Yogi is expected to win the by-election only if die-hard supporters of the BJP, who distanced themselves from the party during the Lok Sabha elections, return. This can only happen if they fear that if Hindus are divided, they will be cut off, Akhilesh also understands that if Yogi unites Hindus by showing fear, then no one can stop the BJP from winning .

Maybe that’s why not only Akhilesh Yadav but also his MP wife Dimple Yadav reacted to Chief Minister Yogi’s remarks. He said in Maipuri that the people of Uttar Pradesh knew very well that such remarks were meant to divert people’s attention. give..
This comes after her husband Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav told party workers that they should not be confused as the slogan was prepared in a laboratory and they had to call to someone. So, who better to say this slogan than the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh as he also has a similar image. If he had said “if we divide, we will be cut”. Therefore, the PDA family will not be divided. This slogan is for you, people of the PDA family should not be divided.

Is this the answer to Rahul Gandhi’s caste census? If we are divided, we will be divided.

Rahul Gandhi has been constantly talking about caste census since a few months before the Lok Sabha elections. Talk of caste census is just to apply the divide and conquer formula among the hardcore voters of the BJP and even after the defeat in Haryana, Rahul Gandhi’s demand for caste census has not diminished. It seems to be moving in a new direction. Now Rahul is also criticizing Manusmriti. Following discontent among Dalit voters in Haryana, the Congress has now devised a new strategy. This time, the party does not want to lose the votes of Dalits, backward classes and tribals at any cost. Rahul Gandhi launched the event at a constitutional honors conference in Jharkhand. Rahul Gandhi has openly stated here that Manusmriti is an anti-constitutional book. He said that the battle between the Constitution and Manusmriti has been going on for many years.

Not only that, while Rahul Gandhi reiterated the caste census resolution, he also did not forget to talk about 90 to 10. He said that 90% of the people in this country are being deprived of their rights. 90% of people’s history is being erased. In every case, he talks about conducting a caste census and raising the 50% limit for reserved castes. Rahul said the history of OBCs, farmers, labourers, carpenters, barbers, cobblers – all these people, who constitute 90 per cent of India’s population, have not been recorded anywhere. Rahul has repeatedly reiterated that there are almost no dalit, tribal and backward officials in large ministries. Backward class officers can decide to spend 10%, Dalit officers only need 1 rupee and tribal officers only 10 paise.

Obviously, the BJP has to counter this strategy of Rahul Gandhi in some way. If Rahul talks about dividing Hindu society, then the BJP will talk about uniting it, the BJP said.

Why does the BJP emphasize this slogan?

In fact, when Yogi Adityanath first raised Batenge’s slogan to Katenge, Hindus were being persecuted in Bangladesh. Yogi’s words came to light after the Bengal coup, when miscreants in Bengal were targeting Hindus. . Following Yogi’s remarks, Iran’s supreme leader also made some similar remarks to unite the Muslim world against Israel. Leaders around the world continue to make such statements to unite their supporters, even in India, where leaders of different castes and religions do so. have been saying things like this to rally their supporters.

Attacking Mahavikas Aghadi during his visit to Maharashtra, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said, “Congress knows their vote bank will remain the same but the rest will be easy Divided. “Congress and its allies have only one mission, and that is to divide society and seize power. Therefore, our unity must be a shield for the nation and we must remember that if we are divided, those who are divided will organize to gather. We must not allow Congress and Aghadi to succeed.

Days later, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat also called on the Hindu community to unite and end their differences and disputes among themselves. area. Society should be a society with unity, goodwill and bonds. He said that society needs disciplined behavior, responsibility to the country and goal-oriented qualities…Society is not made up of. It’s just me and my family, instead we have to realize God in our lives through a holistic focus on society.

At a time when some political parties are once again trying to divide Hindus into castes in the country, the BJP is sure to say something like this to unite voters. The BJP believes that if the opposition succeeds in dividing Hindus into castes, their politics will disappear.
