Yogi Adityanath has been elected as the Chief Minister of
Uttar Pradesh and the press and TV channels are guessing the agenda of this
government already. Some are of the view that this person is going to be
against the minorities in the state, some think he will be against the Muslims
in the state. All the while this choice has allowed the Congress and other
belligerents of the BJP a chance to launch their salvo against the NDA
government and PM Narendra Modi. Some other faction thinks that Yogi Adityanath
is going to transform UP into an extrapolated Gorakhpur. A few years before
when Yogi Adityanath was not elected in Gorakhpur, the city was a mess. Roads
could have been a training ground for commandos who want to jump over potholes.
Electricity and water was also a major challenge. But Yogi Adityanath changed
the city into a ‘mini-Singapore’. Possibly nobody took notice of it.
The state of UP was ruled during the last few decades by
parties who divided the state into factions of religions, minorities etc. This
had even forced many youngsters to leave their home state and move to Metros
like Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai to get a good education and find job
opportunities. Because they know that in their home state all this is not
possible. They even shifted their families to these cities permanently. Hooliganism
in the name of minority status, religion and political affiliation had made the
lives of people very difficult in the state. In spite of being such a big state
with ample resources these parties forced an entire generation of youngsters to
migrate. But Yogi Adityanath or the BJP was not responsible for any of these
incidents. Then why is he branded as a fanatic or right-wing fundamentalist?
It is time that we understand that the religion of a person
is his personal choice and it has nothing to do with one’s work. The people of
India must evolve to get this philosophy in their character. The political parties
need to know that people do not respond to anybody’s family pedigree. They respond
to the power of their ideas. The BJP has a single-minded approach to its ideas
and a strong leadership structure wherein the decision is streamlined and
unquestionable. The BJP has a good number of Muslim candidates and minority
candidates in it as it has Hindu candidates. But they are not there to practice
their religions, rather to do some service to the people.
Comparing a leader who has clarity of thoughts to a dictator
who killed millions is just a bogus propaganda designed to paint the leader in
the colors of the dictator and taint his image. The media and the press must
take on the responsibility to identify this trick and expose it to the public. The
power of thoughts and intentions succeeds over all kinds of physical, economic
and social powers.
As of now the election of the face of the CM and his
Deputies has enamored a great confusion in the state. Maybe the new government can
enamor an equal magnitude of accolades in the year to come or divide the state
again into factions. Either way, this drama will have a guaranteed number of
actors and an even larger audience ready to cheer them.
