There is only Bihar elections in front, but the Bharatiya Janata Party is already preparing for the 2026 assembly elections. Discussion on the possible names of NDA candidates for the Vice Presidential election was also going on in view of the same – and now the BJP has also expressed political intention by declaring CP Radhakrishnan as its candidate.
Since coming to power at the Center in 2014, BJP has been included in the list of first preference in the states where the BJP wants to hold power. Top, BJP leader Amit Shah is already preparing for the golden period before the formation of the BJP government in UP, but states like Bengal and Kerala have still been obstructed. From the golden period of Amit Shah, the BJP occupies power from Panchayat to Parliament.
After crossing the obstacle of Delhi, there was more emphasis on West Bengal. But after the name of the candidate for the post of Vice President, it seems, the case of Bengal has currently gone on hold – and, the focus on Tamil Nadu has increased.
From 2022, a special exercise is going on to connect Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s parliamentary constituency Varanasi to Tamil Nadu. The third season of Kashi Tamil Sangamam has been completed earlier this year. There is a month -long special ceremony in Kashi Tamil Sangamam Banaras, which is being organized officially for the last three years. The first Kashi Tamil Sangamam was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 19 November 2022.
BJP’s Tamil Nadu Sadhana
Only three seasons of Kashi Tamil Sangamam have been completed, but not only throughout the month of the ceremony, there is a deep impression of Tamil Nadu on the streets in Banaras throughout the year. And on the food paan of Banaras, it is also seeing a significant effect for a few days. The reason is special, the demand will be the same as the demand will be. The arrival of tourists has increased.
Foreign tourists have been visiting for years, but they have been roaming in places like Sarnath besides the ghats. Apart from Vishwanath Gali, there has been a gathering of tourists in the streets and mohallas. Tourists reaching Kashi from South India are mostly seen in the mohallas adjacent to the ghats.
Although the whole country feels settled in Banaras, but now the flowing winds of change can also be felt separately in every case. In the streets of the ghat shore, every culture, every faith and food of the country have been seen awake for decades, now a sharp expansion can be seen in the rest of the mohallas. And, only the people of Banaras tell them in the conversation.
If in the mohallas along the banks of the Ganges, Hanuman Ghat, Kedar Ghat, Chowki Ghat and Mansarovar Ghat go to Dashashwamedh, then along with temples, food shops also offer tableau from Bengal to the south states in the same way as it is seen in the Republic Day parade. Now the extension of such views has been formed till Mohalla Assi. During Kashi Tamil Sangamam, a fair is seen everywhere.
It cannot be said that Kachori-vegetable and jalebi are disappearing, but to eat fresh-fresh idli-dosa-sambhar, first had to go to the streets of the ghat shore, the same street which used to go from Dashashwamedh to Assi via the ghats. The direct road is only up to Hadabagh in Kedarghat, but they go ahead and go ahead.
Idli-Dosa-Sambhar is now serving the handlers on the rest of the roads in the city. Vinay Singh, senior journalist of Banaras, says, on Dashashwamedh, breakfast of South India has started getting in many places in the morning. However, they increase their business before opening market shops.
The view of Kashi Vishwanath Dham and some ghats as well as the morning-e-Banaras has changed, but is this change due to Kashi Tamil Sangamam?
Vinay Singh says, see, if you look at the first and now, then the difference has come that the food items have started changing. Sweets, paan and cannabis are neutralized, but the special breakfast of morning-e-Banaras, Kachori-Sabzi-Jalebi, and the evening’s launder samosa, has also affected the tomato chaat of Banaras.
However, senior journalist AK Lari, who has been living Banaras for years, does not agree with such things. It is said, ‘See … food has been affected, but this is the effect of change. Can not say that Idli-Dosa has replaced Kachori-Sabzi … The choice of the new generation is changing a lot. The new generation is also liking noodles and momo, and also idli dosa.
Not only other states on Banaras, AK Lari says, ‘The influence of nearby areas has also increased. Like Momo and Noodles, the trend of drinking sorbet and eating bati-chokha has also increased.
In the conversation, they also assume that the culture of South India has also had a lot of effect. AK Lari says, there is no such survey that it should be understood through data, but in recent times the effect cannot be denied.
Focus on Tamil Nadu, so consider Bengal on hold
Not only Kashi Tamil Sangamam, there are many examples such as establishment of Sangs in the new Parliament House, language-culture and things related to Tamil Nadu in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speeches, which show the glimpses of political love for the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Tamil Nadu. There is only one thing that gets a little different, and that is to express his affection on behalf of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
CP Radhakrishnan is currently the Governor of Maharashtra for the post of BJP for the post of Vice President. For the first time after the long service of the Sangh and BJP in Tamil Nadu, CP Radhakrishnan was made the Governor of Jharkhand, and some additional charge has also been responsible for him. It is also a coincidence that Jagdeep Dhankhar was also the Governor of West Bengal before becoming Vice President, although this experiment is more than BJP.
In the Tamil Nadu elections, the BJP has had an electoral alliance with the opposition AIADMK, and in between, the only thing is being told by the former Chief Minister E Ki Palaniswami that the electoral alliance does not mean a partner in power, DMK has also maintained a similar relationship with the Congress.
From now on it is difficult to assume that by making CP Radhakrishnan as Vice President, the BJP can benefit in the Tamil Nadu assembly elections, but all things are not able to directly benefit, some measures are also to stop the loss. And, there is also a benefit. Despite the efforts from Kashi Tamil Sangamam to CP Radhakrishnan, the BJP’s concern and the BJP’s advocate by calling the BJP an advocate can cause harm to some extent that the BJP can protect to some extent.
