Next year, that is in 2018, people of Madhya Pradesh will be enjoying the biggest festival in Democracy. There is assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh in 2018.
According to me these upcoming assembly election would be fought on Hinduisn rather on Development.
The reason behind this is that In the beginning of 2017 elections, Shivraj started Narmada Seva Yatra and he is ending the year 2017 with Ekatma Yatra. This Narmada Seva Yatra and Ekatma Yatra is mainly focused on to grab attention of Hindus. In No Narmada belt, Shivraj started Ekatma Yatra. This Ekatma Yatra is being started from Ujjain and passed through Nagda and Khachrod. I saw the yatra in Khachrod and after seeing it, I can say with conformity that It is more a political yatra than a religional yatra.
In reply of it, Congress’ mass leader and former CM of Madhya Pradesh is doing Narmada Yatra in the Narmada belt. Although he is saying it’s completely apolitical but in political class everyone saying it’s a reply to Shivraj’s Narmada Seva Yatra by Digvijay Singh.
According to me, Madhya Pradesh assembly elections will be fought like recent Gujarat assembly elections. The whole Gujarat elections was fought on Hinduisn, Ram Temple and Janeudhari Hindu. The world famous Gujarat Model was sidelined by PM Modi and BJP and interstingly Congress also not questioned BJP on Gujarat Model. Congress got traped in BJP’s plan and played on their turf and failed.
Despite governing for more than 12 years, Shivraj failed in bringing concrete changes in the field of Education, Health, Women security, employment and other key issues. They don’t have anything concrete to showcase it to seek votes. If we talk on Education, Health, Women Security, Employment Shivraj is miserably failed. Even many corruption charges are also following him.
The recent acts of BJP and Congress shows that Development will not be the key factor, Hinduism will play the most important role in the whole campaign. Both BJP and Congress are trying hard to grab votes through Hinduism. And In my Opinion, BJP has mastery in it, Congress and other political front can’t even give fight to BJP on Hinduism.
Now, I am introducing you a new political front in MP’s political arena that is Common Man’s party, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). They also showed their strength many a times. They also exposed many irregularities but no action yet been taken against the irregularities exposed by AAP. AAP is continusly trying to fight election on issue based that is High rates of Electricity, Corruption in Electricity, Education, Health and other key factors. AAP also organised Parivartan Rally in Bhopal which was attended by AAP National Convenor and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, yes it was a huge success.
I am closing here that if AAP succeeds in showcasing their ideology, they can create trouble for both BJP and Congress.
