BJP tweaks Hindutva narrative in poll-bound Raj, focuses on folk gods #IndiaNEWS #India
Jaipur: The BJP seems to be changing its Hindutva model strategy and is focussing more on folk Gods in poll-bound Rajasthan.
This can be ascertained by looking at three visits of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Rajasthan in the last few months.
Earlier, Modi came to Rajasthan on a tour of Manpur on Abu Road and then he visited Mangarh Dham in Banswara.
Now, his recent trip was to Malaseri in Bhilwara district where he struck a chord with the Gujjar community by wondering whether it is a coincidence that India assumed the G20 presidency which has a lotus emblem in its logo in the 1111th year of Bhagwan Devnarayanji who also appeared on a lotus.
His visit to Bhilwara came at a time when there are 8 Gujjar MLAs in the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, but not a single one of them is from the BJP. In such a situation, Modi linked the partys election symbol and Lord Devnarayans Lotus connect to connect Gujjars with the BJP. The PM said in the meeting that Devnarayan was born on a lotus flower and we are also born with lotus. We have a deep connection with you, he added.
The BJPs election symbol is the lotus. In such a situation, the PM struck a chord with the Gujjars and made lotus the median connecting the two.
Even on his last visit to Mangadh, PM Modi had said about Govind Giri and other tribal personalities that they have not got respect in history till now. But now the contribution of these great men is being brought forward, he had said.
Similarly, in his speech in Malaseri, Modi talked about their contribution to the country and culture, taking the names of other Gujjar personalities including Vijay Singh Pathik, Rampyari Gurjar and Pannadhai. He said that such countless fighters could not get the place in history that they should have got. Modi said that now their contribution is being told to the people.
Similarly, the PM also mentioned many folk deities including Ramdevji, Tejaji, Gogaji, Pabuji in his speech at Malaseri. In such a situation, it is certain that instead of Hindutva, the BJP in Rajasthan has insisted on focusing on folk-Gods, local great men.
Last year BJP state president Satish Poonia had done a padyatra of 11 km from Ramdevra. It is believed that in the coming time, more programs can be organized by the BJP on the folk-deities and the places associated with them.
Earlier on November 1, the PM had visited Mangarh in Banswara. In his last two visits, the PM has tried to help the communities that hold an important place in the politics of Rajasthan.
Earlier, after reaching Mangarh, the PM had held a programme among the tribals. Here he talked about the sacrifice of Govind Giri and the culture of the tribals.
If we look at the tribal-dominated seats in Rajasthan, then 25 assembly seats are ST reserved seats.
