It was greater than a coincidence, when the insurgent Congress chief Ghulam Nabi Azad was echoing the views of Narendra Modi of rout of the Congress at a rally in Jammu, the veteran Nitish Kumar was telling the folks of the nation that the BJP beneath Modi wouldn’t fetch greater than 50 seats within the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
This emphatic assertion from Bihar Chief Minister has not solely stunned the opposition leaders who’re busy looking for out the rationale behind his declare, the BJP leaders are utterly within the state of trans. Those that know of the fashion of working of Nitish will not be averse to subscribing his declare. They maintain to not imagine him can be extra of the character of inviting peril. Normally Nitish refrains from making such forecast. He additionally refuses to bask in any type of hypothesis sport. Clearly his declare made on the nationwide meet of celebration members in Patna, simply forward of launching his prestigious mission to unite the opposition, can’t be dismissed outright.
Nonetheless his declare has include the rider; “If all (opposition) events struggle collectively, the BJP will probably be bundled out for about 50 seats. I’m devoting myself to that drive (abhiyan)”. This rider must be not taken with scepticism. It’s a identified reality some opposition leaders are working laborious to create confusion. Nitish’s assertion comes forward of his assembly the political leaders from throughout celebration traces in a bid to forge Opposition unity. He’ll work together with them for 3 days beginning on Monday.
Whereas a few of the opposition leaders are striving for his or her projection because the opposition prime ministerial candidate, Nitish instructed the opposition leaders that the prime job earlier than them was to unite and are available beneath an umbrella to make sure defeat of Modi. He downplayed rumours floating within the political circle that he was the prime ministerial face and asserted that his solely aim is to work for uniting the Opposition to unseat the BJP from energy.
Nonetheless it could be utopian to construe that merely bringing the opposition would assist obtain their mission. The opposition can be strolling into the entice laid down by the BJP management in the event that they merely attempt to unite. They’ve to make sure that the vicious design of the BJP to polarise and contaminate the folks’ thoughts and coronary heart is foiled. It’s not that Modi or his colleagues are unaware of the potential of the opposition unity and the risk it poses to his management. He together with Amit Shah has been working to evolve a mechanism to counter the opposition problem. They’ve already divided Marathas and pit one Maratha in opposition to different in Maharashtra. Equally they’re considering to resort to this technique in UP and Bihar. They’re evolving technique to vertically break up the OBC and Dalits on caste and sub caste traces.
They’ve hastened up the method of indoctrinating a piece of the youths. The assume tank of the BJP is of the opinion that proselytising would frustrate the opposition plan to rope within the votes of the widespread folks as these educated cadres would show to be obstacles and frustrate their efforts. The BJP leaders are certain that the opposition leaders wouldn’t achieve successful again these youths of their rank.
RSS leaders are for capturing the political energy by means of election, however they don’t seem to be in sync with Amit Shah fashion of capturing energy. Many of the RSS leaders don’t wish to open their mouth in public view. They maintain the view that the vulgar show of cash energy and muscle energy and buying the legislators have tarnished the picture of Sangh and its associates. A senior RSS chief conceded that they will surely wish to win elections, however not at the price of the picture of the organisation. He holds that Nitish wouldn’t have left the NDA. It was Modi and Shah who alienated him by means of their machinations. He argued that Nitish left the corporate of Lalu Yadav in 2017 and returned to the NDA fold. These two leaders ought to have analysed his strikes in correct perspective. As an alternative Shah began plotting in opposition to him. They planted Nitish’s personal man to separate his celebration and dethrone him.
He had one robust and legitimate query; do these two leaders imagine that a lot of the flip coats who joined the BJP after Modi grew to become the prime minister would stay loyal to the BJP even after it loses the facility? Satirically their quantity is substantial within the celebration. If they’ll desert the celebration which groomed them and taught the fundamentals of politics, they might not hesitate in any respect, for fraction of minutes, to abandon the BJP. These folks haven’t any ideological or political dedication in direction of the celebration. They’ve flocked just for having fun with the facility. They might utterly wreck the celebration as soon as it loses the facility.
In actual fact the transfer to separate the JD(U) in Manipur has infuriated Nitish to an incredible extent. Nitish on the nationwide meet of the JD(U) has been fairly offended and severely criticised the highest leaders of BJP for this. On the meet celebration chief Lalan Singh accused the BJP of utilizing cash energy to poach legislators. Offended Nitish sought to know; “Is it correct? Is it constitutional? Is it according to established norms?” He stated “the BJP leaders have been resorting to this in all places. Therefore all events should unite in 2024 for a constructive mandate. Once we have been in NDA, they (BJP) gave our MLAs nothing. Now they’ve been received over”.
Posters and billboards have already been put up in Patna sending the message loud and clear that Nitish will play a “nationwide position”. Enormous hoarding with a stand-alone image of Nitish Kumar and captioned “Bihar mein dikha, Bharat mein dikhega” has been additionally been put up in Patna. The tone and mood of the JD(U) decision handed is value taking critical be aware. It reads; “There may be an ‘undeclared emergency’ within the nation”. Modi authorities is labelling the democratic proper of dissent as ‘treason’.”
However numerous challenges that Nitish has been dealing with, it’s the vile marketing campaign launched by media, the Godi Media, that has been creating issues for him. The media guys are busy spreading the impression that Nitish’s mission will fail because the opposition is badly divided on the dual points; who can be the following Congress president and who can be prime ministerial candidate of the opposition. It is a well-planned marketing campaign launched on the directive of the BJP management. The media solely a few days again tried to lift this situation on the press meet of Telangana chief minister in Patna. The transfer goals at creating confusion amongst the people who the opposition is badly divided. (IPA Service)
