I do not understand that even today we keep on wasting our time by arguing on unnecessary things. Even in today’s election era. Sometimes the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, sometimes Nehru, and sometimes Jinnah get involved in proving himself to be a patriot. There may be two main reasons for this. The first is that the educated people of the country are deliberately wasting their time by talking about their own interests and detriments in order to spend their time in the unemployment that is prevailing in the country. Another reason can also be that they have a severe lack of education. Laughter comes when the so-called educated self-blessed people who call themselves Pandits feel proud, they also participate in this debate and speak lies with the aim of defaming history and historian. I don’t know, from where do such people find such gullibles. Just a few days back I had read an article in which Congress was criticized for taking the side of those who fled the party. It was also specifically said in it that now what is left in this party, whoever stays in it wastes his time. The columnist as an anti-Congress campaigner had said that the leader of that party was not qualified to run the party. Then, towards such people, the society thinks that the leaders who fled were not capable enough who could openly oppose that weak leader and openly oppose such leaders and take a pledge to sit in that place. It is very easy to criticize someone, but it is another thing to sit in that place and look at yourself. The truth is that such defectors do not deserve that at all. Yes, such weak people who run away by accusing are definitely adept at criticizing.
It is not only about Congress. There are such opportunistic people in all parties who, if not in the slightest lack of cream, that they come to abuse. Then by alleging that they were given less attention or their weight was underestimated… they leave the party and join another party. The opportunists do not hesitate to even look for their hideout in the streets of the party which they abuse till tomorrow. Many leaders, who were currently in power in Uttar Pradesh, have left the ruling party and have come to the fray to contest the elections on the ticket of the opposition. It is not understood that with what mouth such people will go or go to the public to ask for votes! It is true that the Indian Constitution has given so much power to the leaders that they can choose the party and election place according to them. But, it should happen that those who changed their side just before the election, they should be deprived by law for at least five years, but in our country this is not the case, on the contrary they are respected. If such leaders change their side as soon as they are in power saying that this party is not working for the public interest, that is why we are defecting, then the public would have gained confidence in their leaders. But, what is the matter that you have not done any work in your tenure, you have not had any achievement and when the election came, to hide your failures, you switched sides and are criticizing the party activities by accusing it.
So far, in the assembly elections to be held in seven phases, the first phase elections have been held in many states. The results will come simultaneously on March 10, but let’s talk about the elections that have been held so far. In such a situation, let’s talk about Uttar Pradesh first, because it is the largest state in the country and the BJP’s strong Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is currently ruling here. Yogi ji is a fun politician of the country. He himself had told about himself in Parliament that he had taken retirement only for public service. He does politics selflessly. But, in the meantime, his tongue is slipping a lot. The Samajwadi Party has complained to the Election Commission about this slipping tongue of his. Samajwadi Party National President and former UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has complained to the Election Commission that Samajwadi Party is following the Model Code of Conduct, while BJP leaders and Chief Ministers are influencing the sanctity of democracy with their indecent statements. Huh.
The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh has just threatened to ‘bulldozer will run after March 10’ in Agra. Apart from this, he is constantly calling the leadership of the Samajwadi Party as goonda, mawali, mafia. The Chief Minister said in the meetings of Siwalkhas and Kithor in Meerut on February 1, 2022, ‘Lal topi means rioter, history-sheeter’. The Chief Minister said in Kairana, Muzaffarnagar, ‘The heat that is visible, everything will calm down’, ‘How the heat will be calm, I know’ has been used in undemocratic language. He is constantly speaking threatening language. What happened to our royal leaders? The country’s most powerful home minister Amit Shah calls Gorakhpur SP a mafia, while in Kanpur countryside, BJP national president JP Nadda calls socialists a party of goons and patrons of terrorists. Are the leaders of the ruling party using such indecent language only after getting scared of the socialists?
Due to the nonsense statements of many leaders of the ruling BJP, now the candidates of this party go anywhere in their election journey to seek votes, the residents there oppose them, attack them, show their displeasure by throwing bricks and stones at their vehicles. . This type of protest has been done by the voters in almost every election, but the way the ruling party is being opposed this time in Uttar Pradesh, it would probably never have happened before. This has happened due to many reasons in which any senior politician of the ruling party comes and gives very little information about the work done by him in public interest or public interest in his campaign or rally, but his only goal is to curse the opponents fiercely. Ignoring the talk of public problems, voters are intimidated by the talk of Hindu-Muslim, India-Pakistan. This prejudice is created in the minds of innocent people that only this party can do good to them, because if the dominance of Muslims increases, then it will be difficult for Hindus to live in this country. He gives his argument by saying that such a country used to belong to some other religion earlier, but within a few days it became an Islamic country. Because Muslims have been increasing their population wildly, but we have restrictions. I don’t understand why these leaders mislead the general public like this. Why doesn’t he accept the fact that for the last eight years, his government has been in power in many states including the center and he has ruled in most of the states of the country, he has his own government, then a common law is his Why could it not be made by the government till now that no matter any caste-religion of the country, he can give birth to only one or two children. If such a law had been made, then the population that is talked about could have been controlled.
When it comes to the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, the name of BSP supremo Ms. Mayawati should not come up, how can it happen. Till a few days ago, there was no movement from his side, but inside he strengthened the BSP and with his strong political hold, came in front of the voters and told that four times in the politics of the state on his own. How did she become the Chief Minister of the largest state of India? His entire team is ready and showing his strong claim has started instilling confidence in the voters.
During the election of the first phase, by contesting his strong candidates, he has tried to prove that his chief ministership is still intact. Now talking about the country’s oldest party Congress, Priyanka Gandhi is not behind in the claim of Chief Minister. The color of Uttar Pradesh elections is changing every day. The leaders of every party are going door-to-door seeking votes for themselves and their candidates. One special thing is that when the candidates of every party go to someone’s door and ask that family to vote for themselves, today’s voters also assure them to cast their vote in their favor. He does this with every party because he knows that there is no one to do his good, so there is no need to disappoint anyone. You also go to vote and vote in favor of the one who can do your best. Never think that nothing is going to happen with your one vote, it is wrong, because the Constitution has given the first citizen of India the right to vote only one vote, while the makers of the Constitution have given you respect. So do use your right to vote.
