JANARARAKSHA YATRA PROVES
HINDUTVA IDEOLOGY IS BURDEN IN KERALA
BJP had to do a lot of homework on India's most literate state.On
Thursday, Shah was to participate in an 11-km padayatra (foot march) through
Pinarayi, the village of chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan. president Kummanam
Rajasekharan, who leads the show, had to struggle with words to explain.The
march planned as a buildup for the general elections, which is one and a half
years away, started off on a wrong foot with its most powerful ally Bharat
Dharma Jana Sena (BDJS) keeping away stating that the National Democratic
Alliance is yet to make an impact in the state.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister
Yogi Adityanath's campaign on the second day, harping on about his pet theme of
"love jihad", added only insult to injury keeping the social media
abuzz with comparisons of communal harmony prevailing in his state and that of
Kerala. The first day the People of Keralawere busy with the minute-by-minute
coverage of the high court granting bail to superstar Dileep and the procedures
at the lower court for his release and reactions of his fans, despite Shah
joining the walkers led by Rajasekharan covering a distance of eight-kilometres
on foot."With Amit Shah leaving them halfway, the Janaraksha Yatra has
become a funeral procession," taunted Congress party's Ramesh Chennithala,
the Opposition Leader in the State Legislative Assembly. "This is Kerala
and people are politically conscious and vigilant against such tricks to divide
them, on religious lines. Shah appears to have realised it within a day of his
walk among the people."
