The Sanghbhoomi and Deekshabhoomi, both of them are associated with the identity of this city of oranges and Prime Minister Modi visited both these places during his visit. PM Modi also went inside the stupa built on the Deeksha Bhoomi where the bones of the constitution maker Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar have been kept. He paid homage to Babasaheb and wrote in the Visitors Book, “The construction of developed and inclusive India will be a true tribute to Dr. Ambedkar.” In the message written in the Prime Minister’s Deekshabhoomi and the message written in the visitors book, the political meaning of both of them is being searched.
PM targeted many with one arrow
Prime Minister Narendra Modi went to the initiation land, talking about inclusive India and many targets with an arrow. The PM’s inclusive India is being seen with social justice as well as the strategy of Dalit politics, Buddhist politics and unity of Hindutva, many equations. In fact, Bihar has assembly elections till the end of the year and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) -led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) competes with the opposition Grand Alliance. Lalu Yadav’s party Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) is leading the Grand Alliance. The pitch of Lalu’s politics has also been social justice.
Opposition parties were seen trying to create a narrator in the last Lok Sabha election that if the BJP wins, Babasaheb’s constitution will change. From the election public meetings to the oath of Parliament, the prominent leaders of the opposition parties were also seen waving copies of the Constitution. In the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP remained behind the majority figure and was considered to be the main role of the Narrative to change the Constitution. Recently, the remarks of Home Minister Amit Shah about Dr. Ambedkar had also opened a front against him and the BJP, stating the insult to Babasaheb.
Social justice pitch
From the pitch of social justice to the constitution before elections in Bihar, BJP is already in alert mode. Where the PM’s Dikshabhoomi tour is being linked to the BJP’s attempt to counter this Narrator. At the same time, the matter of inclusive India is being seen as a cut of the issue of caste census. One aspect is that two big faces of Dalit politics of Bihar are Chirag Paswan and Jitan Ram Manjhi in NDA, they are also ministers at the center. At the same time, now the Congress has made the Dalit face (Rajesh Kumar) the state president. In such a situation, the NDA does not want to leave any chance for the opposition on the pitch of Dalit politics.
