The falling voting percentage in the current Lok Sabha elections has worried the Bharatiya Janata Party. People are giving many reasons for this incident, be it the harvest season or the scorching heat. Another possible reason for the low turnout is that speeches and advertisements have convinced people that the National Democratic Alliance is going to win more than 400 seats. However, the BJP think tank is worried about what would happen if those castes and communities that lean towards the opposition vote strongly, while those favoring the NDA will either stay indoors to escape the heat or harvest. Will be busy. Such a situation could be disastrous for the NDA’s objectives. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is appealing to voters to exercise their franchise in large numbers. At a rally in Bihar’s Forbesganj, Modi devoted a large part of his speech to encouraging people to vote. “I understand that it is summer season, but you should fulfill your duty of casting your vote even in adverse circumstances in the national interest.” He also asked people to come out in groups of 20 to 25 and march to the polling stations while singing, as if it was a festival of democracy. His underlying concern was not lost on anyone.

BJP’s mascot Narendra Modi has not only stopped raising the aggressive slogan, “Abkibar Chaar Sau Paar”, but has also left out another important issue. He has stopped short of highlighting that for him there are only four castes – “the poor, the women, the youth and the farmers”. Modi had raised this slogan to counter the opposition’s demand for caste census. But party insiders said feedback from the grassroots shows that the talk of ‘only four castes’ has created a fear of withdrawal of reservation benefits for a large section of Dalits and tribal people. The opposition’s campaign that Modi is insisting on a thumping majority to change the Constitution and withdraw reservations reinforced this perception. Now, the Prime Minister is desperately trying to turn the situation around by clearly accusing the opposition, especially the Congress, of conspiring to ‘loot’ the SC/ST/OBC reservations and give it to Muslims. To do this, the Prime Minister has resorted to a long-standing provision in Congress-ruled Karnataka, where Muslims are included in the broader OBC category. The irony is that this provision is in HD. It was introduced by the government led by Deve Gowda, who is now a BJP ally.
victim of heat
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is not well and is suspected to be suffering from dementia. The opposition, especially the Rashtriya Janata Dal, used these rumors to claim that the BJP had stopped Nitish from sharing the stage with Narendra Modi. Many people fell prey to this claim. Incidentally, Nitish did not attend Modi’s rally in Gaya in mid-April and was also not seen with Modi in Forbesganj. However, he later accompanied the PM to a rally in Munger. A senior Janata Dal (United) leader chalked up these absences to the heat wave, while former Lok Janshakti Party chief Chirag Paswan said the PM himself asked senior leaders to campaign elsewhere to reach out to more people. Was.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor V.K. After this, Aam Aadmi Party has termed BJP as anti-Dalit. Saxena blocked the nomination of a presiding officer for conducting the annual mayoral elections in Delhi. This year the post is reserved for Scheduled Castes and the LG has stopped the nomination as it has not been taken forward by CM Arvind Kejriwal, who is unable to do so from behind bars. AAP has cited the stalled Delhi elections and tweeted a meme of PM Modi on the lines of The Dictator played by Sacha Baron Cohen in 2012.
