If a Karnataka lingayat seer is to be believed, Rahul Gandhi will likely be prime minister in 2024. With that taken as a right, the Congress can set its eye on profitable the 2023 Karnataka meeting elections. The lingayat seer is invested in Rahul Gandhi. He additionally occurs to be from the lingayat mutt which gave “deeksha” to the Gandhi scion and admitted him into the Lingayat sect!
Now, if that isn’t a masterstroke, what’s? The lingayat is a crucial phase of Kannada society. And at some point is a very long time in politics. The present Karnataka Chief Minister is a lingayat, additionally the 2 chief ministers earlier than him. The lingayat make up practically 17-20 p.c of the voters.
Now, with Rahul Gandhi additionally a lingayat, after being given “deeksha” by the chief seer of a lingayat mutt, the lingayat are anticipated to vote overwhelmingly for the Congress. Particularly understanding that BS Yediyurappa, additionally a lingayat and a former chief minister, isn’t too chummy with the BJP central management.
The Karnataka meeting elections are prestigious for the BJP. Karnataka additionally occurs to be the only real BJP–dominated state, which it took from the Congress utilizing the dictum “by hook or criminal”. Let’s not neglect that the BJP doesn’t care an excessive amount of for niceties in issues concerning electoral outcomes and authorities formation.
That mentioned, the seer who prophesied Rahul Gandhi will likely be “PM”, he’s not alone. Opinion polls at all times rank Rahul Gandhi behind Narendra Modi on the query “who’s your alternative for prime minister?” The identical query requested solely of the South Indian voter can have Rahul on prime, and Modi Within the dregs!
In truth, lakhs of voters in Karnataka and Kerala won’t substitute their social media ‘DP’ with the tricolour for the seventy fifth Independence Day just because their present DP occurs to be an image of “Rahul Gandhi”. Prime Minister Narendra Modi didn’t know that or he wouldn’t have performed the gambit and requested the “folks” to alter their DP to the tricolour.
The query, nevertheless, shouldn’t be how patriotic or nationalist the prime minister of India must be. No one ever requested the query, and no prime minister needed to show his nationalism and patriotism, ever. Anyone questioning the patriotism of Lal Bahadur Shastri and Indira Gandhi would have been thrown to the wolves within the Press.
A lot of political pundits have mentioned that the 2024 basic elections will likely be fought on the problem of dynasty, and there are sufficient dynasties within the fray to lend it credibility. Be that as it could, however an alternate narrative may be constructed round who from the Opposition leaders is the “proper” chief to tackle Modi and rival him in its place?
The way by which politics has been trending for the final couple of years, a minimum of, the narrative fed to folks at giant was that Narendra Modi, simply that one particular person, should be faraway from the helm —for democracy to outlive; for the financial system to revive; for sanity to return; for a protected current, and for a safe future.
With that a lot readability, the combat boils all the way down to discovering that one political “animal” to tackle Modi by the scruff of his political neck and dispatch him to political anonymity. However who? Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal, KCR, MK Stalin… The enforcement directorate on Modi’s roll-call are seeing them off one after the other.
Mamata Banerjee is “tainted by affiliation”; ditto Kejriwal, Uddhav Thackeray is out of the image, MK Stalin guidelines himself out. None of them with their regional events could make an all-India influence to tackle the BJP, and Narendra Modi, which leaves solely Rahul Gandhi within the fray. The Congress is the primary opposition; and Rahul has acquired the “Lingayat okay”, which is half the battle gained to commandeer Karnataka.
On the assembly with seers of Sri Murugarajendra Mutt in Chitradurga, one among them, Haveri Hosamutt Swami, mentioned, “Indira Gandhiji was PM, Rajiv Gandhi PM, and now Rahul Gandhi has been initiated into Lingayat sect, and he’ll develop into the PM.” The mutt head Sri Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru, interrupted, “Please don’t say this… This isn’t the platform. Individuals will determine.”
After all, the folks will determine, however a minimum of a reference level has been set. There was the time when Randeep Singh Surjewala declared Rahul Gandhi a ‘janeoudhari Brahmin”. This time, the lingayat sect of Karnataka has adopted him as its personal, with one among its prime seers predicting that Rahul Gandhi will likely be Prime Minister! Already, there’s a transfer to declare Rahul Gandhi, whose “solely job is to combat the RSS”, a “non-Brahmin” by parts unfriendly to the Gandhis, saying that the lingayat sect rejects Brahmin-ism, interval!
