Bihar News Desk !!! The moves of two NDA leaders Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar have increased the difficulties of BJP. The alleged use of animal fat in making prasad to Lord Venkateshwara in Tirupati temple during Jagan Reddy’s government has created a storm in Andhra politics. At the same time, Nitish Kumar has surprised BJP by demanding a train from Ayodhya to Sitamadhi. Not only this, Nitish Kumar has also praised PM Modi for the construction of Ram temple and has also highlighted the work done by him for the development of Punaura Dham, the birthplace of Mata Sita in Sitamadhi. The point to note here is that Narendra Modi’s central power depends on the support of Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu.
The moves of both the leaders seem to be going closer to BJP, but both the leaders are trying to keep their Hindu vote bank firmly with them. So that BJP is a part of the coalition in the government of both the states, so that BJP cannot make a dent in their Hindu vote bank. Although Jaganmohan Reddy is considered to be the biggest loser due to Chandrababu Naidu raising the Tirupati issue, but this issue will help TDP to retain its Hindu vote bank for a long time. Naidu has made such a move that Jagan Reddy has lagged behind. Naidu is not only raising the issue of laddu, but is also putting Jagan Reddy in the dock for entering the Tirupati temple without giving an affidavit.
Jagan Reddy fodder mine chit
Naidu had recently said that Jagan Reddy is a Christian and non-Hindus will have to give an affidavit that they are worshippers of Lord Venkateshwara before entering the Tirupati temple. Lord Venkateshwara in Tirupati is considered more generous and omnipresent. Therefore, Naidu wants Jagan Reddy to never return. In this process, Naidu is also getting the support of devotees. BJP, which got the support of Jagan Reddy before the 2024 elections by raising Naidu’s Tirupati issue, is also forced to support Naidu.
Pawan Kalyan of Janasena Party, a close ally of BJP, is also not untouched by Naidu’s actions on religious issues. Naidu is trying to prevent Pawan Kalyan from emerging as a Hindu face. This is the reason why Pawan Kalyan is most active after the Tirupati case came to light. He has demanded the formation of Sanatan Dharma Rakshan Board. So that all the issues related to temples are in the hands of the board and the board itself resolves them.
TDP is also eyeing Pawan Kalyan
After the laddu controversy, Pawan Kalyan has started 11 days of Tapasya Deeksha. On Tuesday, Pawan Kalyan cleaned the stairs of the Kanaka Durga temple in Vijayawada. He is also completing Tapasya Deeksha at the Dashavatara Venkateswara temple in Guntur. In 2020, Kalyan and the BJP started a joint fasting program called Dharma Rakshan Deeksha. The program was announced after the alleged attacks on temples in Andhra. However, Pawan Kalyan is also under the radar of TDP leaders, who are trying to follow NTR by wearing saffron and shorts like him.
Understand BJP’s inclination towards Pawan Kalyan in such a way that during the NDA meeting in Andhra Pradesh after the Lok Sabha elections 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that Pawan is not a storm. BJP leaders also believe that Pawan Kalyan has a craze among party supporters and the Jana Sena leader also deserves the trust of the BJP leadership.
Nitish’s Google in Bihar
This will be the first time that Nitish Kumar will directly praise PM Narendra Modi for the construction of Ram temple, but he also praised the work of his government in Sitamarhi. In fact, Nitish Kumar has demanded from PM Modi to run a direct train between Ayodhya and Sitamarhi. Bihar BJP has got involved in Nitish Kumar’s Ram-Sita love affair. BJP feels that the JDU leader, who performed brilliantly in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, wants to pull the BJP’s vote bank towards him. Nitish’s comment on Ayodhya is also decisive because in the last eight months Nitish Kumar never spoke openly on Ayodhya, but remained silent. After eight months, Nitish is now openly praising the construction of Ram temple, apparently this is a surprise for the BJP.
Mata Sita and women cast their vote
However, Nitish Kumar’s politics regarding Mata Sita has been different. It would seem that Nitish Kumar is following BJP, but Nitish has strengthened his vote bank by promoting Mata Sita, promoting Ramayana circuit and tourism in Bihar. Mata Sita is considered a symbol of women empowerment and women in Bihar support Nitish Kumar. Nitish Kumar has decided to ban liquor after a long-running women’s movement in Bihar. Although Nitish has been criticized for the success or failure of the liquor ban, he has never shown that he has even the slightest doubt about his decision. JDU’s success in consecutive elections confirms this.
