The politics of Uttar Pradesh has once again become heated due to religious and ideological statements, and this time the issue is directly related to Sanatan faith and the silence of political parties. Speaking from the stage during a religious story in Etawah, Uttar Pradesh, famous storyteller Kaushal Kishore Thakur has made a very sharp and aggressive attack on Samajwadi Party National President and former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav. The narrator challenged from the open stage and said that if Akhilesh Yadav and other so-called secular leaders really have the guts, then they should come forward and support the legal and ideological fight of Shri Krishna’s birthplace and enter the field openly. After his sensational statement, there has been an uproar not only in the local political circles but also in the politics of the entire state. While on one hand Hinduists and religious organizations are appreciating this statement, on the other hand strong reactions have started coming from Samajwadi Party supporters and leaders, due to which this issue is likely to become a big political controversy in the coming days.
Sharp attitude of narrator Kaushal Kishore Thakur during the story in Etawah
During a grand story going on in Etawah, when narrator Kaushal Kishore Thakur started speaking on the current religious and cultural issues of the country, the atmosphere completely changed. After Sanatan Dharma, Ayodhya, he expressed his views openly on the issues of Shri Krishna’s birthplace in Mathura and Kashi. In this context, he started targeting political parties, especially the main opposition party of Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party and its leadership. The narrator said in clear words that the leaders who claim themselves to be Hindus or go to temples and worship during elections, why do they sit silently when the time has come to fight the ideological and legal battle for the liberation of Sanatan culture and the birthplace of Lord Shri Krishna. Taking the name of Akhilesh Yadav, he said that the public is now watching everything and those doing vote politics will have to tell with whom they are standing in this holy struggle of religion and justice.
Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi controversy and profit-loss strategy of political parties
The Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi and Shahi Idgah dispute of Mathura has remained one of the biggest legal and sensitive issues in the courts and public forums of the country for quite some time. The Hindu side claims that the structure of the present mosque has been built on the remains of the original sanctum sanctorum and ancient temple of Lord Krishna, for whose ownership and liberation legal battles are being fought in the court. On such sensitive matters, the political parties of the country often give very measured statements or maintain complete silence, so that their core vote bank is not affected. Parties like Samajwadi Party have generally avoided taking direct stand in such matters and their entire focus remains on the issues of backward classes, Dalits, minorities and development. The main intention behind narrator Kaushal Kishore Thakur directly challenging Akhilesh Yadav is to force the opposition leaders to clarify their position on this issue, which can further intensify political polarization.
Round of sharp reactions in Samajwadi Party and political circles
After this aggressive statement of the narrator came to light, deep resentment is being seen in the camp of Samajwadi Party. Local leaders and spokespersons of the party say that some so-called saints and storytellers deliberately make such inflammatory statements to increase their popularity and gain political mileage. He argues that the courts work according to the Constitution and laws of the country, and not due to anyone’s challenge or political pressure. SP leaders also say that at the behest of BJP and its ideological organizations, efforts are being made to disturb the communal harmony in the state through such statements, which is well understood by the public. On the other hand, Hindu organizations and many other religious speakers have supported this statement of Kaushal Kishore Thakur and said that every Sanatani should come forward for the liberation of the centers of his faith and the leaders who have remained neutral in this matter should be exposed before the public.
What will be the impact of this statement on the upcoming politics of Uttar Pradesh?
Religion and politics have an old and deep relationship in Uttar Pradesh, and whenever elections approach or major religious issues heat up, such statements raise the political temperature further. This statement of Kaushal Kishore Thakur was not limited to Etawah only, but it has become a topic of discussion in the entire country through social media and national media. In the coming days, it will be very interesting to see whether Akhilesh Yadav or any other top leader of the party gives any official response to this open challenge or the party adopts a strategy of completely ignoring such statements. But one thing is very clear that this statement has once again brought the issue of Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi to the center of mainstream political debate, due to which the political atmosphere of the state is going to remain more heated in the coming times.
