Swami Prasad Maurya’s statement will not benefit SP but will cause great harm

In Uttar Pradesh, all parties have stepped up preparations for the Lok Sabha elections. As soon as the opposition parties at the national level, the I.N.D.I.A. In the same way, in Uttar Pradesh also, both the ruling party and the opposition started their own factions and statements. Before the election process, all the national and regional political parties naturally determine their own role as well. In the same process, in order to stop the progress of both the camps in the politics of Uttar Pradesh, the Bahujan Samaj Party under the leadership of former Chief Minister Mayawati has announced to enter the election field alone and very careful statements are coming from her side. Are. On the contrary, most of the parties which were in the Samajwadi Party’s camp in the last assembly elections have joined the BJP-led NDA alliance, while the BJP leadership is in constant contact with some other regional parties and talking to them.

Almost all parties in the state are working to fit their math on caste lines, including the Samajwadi Party led I.N.D.I.A. The alliance is moving ahead with the demand of caste census, the socialist leaders are continuously making statements on this subject and the intellectual cell of SP is doing the politics of heating up the atmosphere by organizing seminars. The Bharatiya Janata Party is continuously working to win all the 80 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh in the upcoming elections and is also campaigning to include leaders from other parties who have a large caste base of their own.

Two such statements have come in the politics of the state in the past, from which it has become clear that caste politics is being revived in the state for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Samajwadi Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya, who won the 2017 assembly elections on a BJP ticket and became a minister, betrayed the Bharatiya Janata Party before the 2022 assembly elections, went back to the SP along with some of his colleagues and fought on the SP ticket Were and were defeated. Now he is very anxious to increase his political TRP in view of the Lok Sabha elections. He is continuously making frivolous and distorted statements and he feels that by doing so he is working in the interest of the Samajwadi Party.

Swami Prasad Maurya first of all made indecent remarks on Ramcharit Manas, the holiest scripture of the Hindu public, and then insulted the Sant Samaj as well. It seems that Swami Prasad Maurya is spewing hatred against Hindu society for personal interest. The Hindu society is continuously getting hurt by the statements of Swami Prasad Maurya. When the episode of Ramcharit Manas started cooling down a bit, he gave a controversial statement regarding Badrinath Dham, one of the most sacred pilgrimages of the Hindu society. Politics heated up with this statement of the SP leader and Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami also jumped into the controversy and warned Swami Prasad Maurya. On the other hand, BSP leader Mayawati has also made a scathing attack on SP leader Maurya on the issue of Badrinath Dham.

Swami Prasad Maurya is a blatant casteist and hate filled leader who is trying to vitiate the atmosphere by making his statements more bitter. Swami Prasad Maurya is issuing a warning to the BJP, saying that the people of the BJP, raising the issue of temple-mosque under a conspiracy, will talk about finding a temple in every mosque, then this tradition will cost them dearly, if you find a mosque in every temple, then people will destroy every temple. I will start searching for Buddhist monasteries because there is evidence of history and evidence that all the pilgrimage centers of Hinduism are built on Buddhist monasteries. The reason for spewing this venom of Swami Prasad Maurya is the realization that 2024 is far away, now even in 2027 his political future will not rise.

State BJP President Bhupendra Chaudhary says that insulting Sanatan Dharma has become a disgusting mentality of SP and its leaders. SP leader Swami Prasad Maurya’s statement about Baba Kedarnath, Badrinath and Shri Jagannathpuri, the main centers of faith of Hindus, is not only controversial, but also reflects his low mentality and petty politics. Swami Prasad Maurya, in his statement demanding a survey of all the Hindu temples while protesting against the Gyanvapi survey, culminating in Muslim appeasement, had claimed that Badrinath Dham was built over a Buddhist monastery.

New round of politics on Phoolan Devi

Notorious dacoit Phoolan Devi, who was born in a boatman’s house in Purva, a small village of Gorha in Uttar Pradesh, was inhumanly tortured by some family members and then by the village bullies. Later, Phoolan took her revenge on him and started committing dacoities. In 1994 SP leader Mulayam Singh Yadav completely withdrew all the allegations against him and brought him into politics. Phoolan became a Member of Parliament in the 11th and 13th Lok Sabha and on 25 July 2001, Phoolan Devi was murdered. After 22 years of Phoolan’s death, efforts are being made to revive her to do caste politics.

The Nishad Party, which is part of the state government, has demanded a CBI inquiry into Phoolan Devi’s murder after 22 years have passed. Nishad Party leader Dr. Sanjay Nishad says that he has written a letter to the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister, demanding that the heroine Phoolan Devi has been a role model not only for the fishermen community but also for the women of the world. He opened a front against injustice to make the society aware. Phoolan Devi has fought from the road to the Parliament to protect the dignity of women and for their rights against oppression, tyranny, harassment. Nishad Party is a party based on the ideals of Phoolan Devi.

It is true that Phoolan Devi has suffered a lot of atrocities in her lifetime, but can she be called a heroine on the basis of caste. The biggest thing is, how far is it appropriate to demand a CBI inquiry after 22 years of Phoolan Devi’s death? If this is not mere political selfishness and stunt politics then what else is? Is it right to call Phoolan Devi a heroine? Due to the politics of casteism, a lot of stunting is also happening these days. Samajwadi Backward Class Cell also garlanded Phoolan Devi’s picture on the occasion of her death anniversary and issued a statement to shine politics under the guise of Phoolan Devi.

This type of politics is also presenting political challenges to the Bharatiya Janata Party. The first thing is that the Nishad party is in alliance with the BJP and the BJP is determined to maintain social harmony. If the BJP says something, then it can be harmed or the allies can be divided, so the BJP keeps distance from such issues for the time being. The coming election period may witness a new casteist upsurge in Uttar Pradesh, so keeping the nationalists united will be a priority for the BJP.
