Rajput Kshatriya angry with BJP: BJP aims to win 370 seats and NDA more than 400 seats in the Lok Sabha elections. BJP leaders are raising more than 400 slogans from the election platform. Meanwhile, from Gujarat to Western Uttar Pradesh, Kshatriyas have opened a front against BJP. Generally, Thakur voters are considered to be BJP supporters for many decades and maximum votes go to BJP, but now a new problem has arisen in front of the party. Panchayats were organized at many places in western Uttar Pradesh including Saharanpur, Meerut, Ghaziabad, in which the Thakur community raised a hue and cry against the BJP.
CM and Defense Minister held a rally
Within no time the matter reached social media. So BJP immediately came into action. Apart from this, rallies of CM Yogi Adityanath and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh were also organized in Western UP. At the same time, the way PM Modi honored CM Yogi Adityanath and former minister Suresh Rana during a rally yesterday, the debate has started whether this entire exercise is not to suppress the anger of the Kshatriyas.
Talked to Suresh Rana
The Prime Minister held a rally in Pilibhit, UP on Tuesday for the Lok Sabha elections. This time BJP has fielded Jitin Prasad by canceling the ticket of Varun Gandhi. Apart from PM Modi, UP CM Yogi Adityanath, former minister Suresh Rana etc. were also present on the stage. When CM Yogi was giving a speech from the stage, PM Modi gestured to Suresh Rana and made him sit on the adjacent chair. Both the leaders kept talking to each other for a long time. Suresh Rana has been an MLA from Thana Assembly seat of Muzaffarnagar and is a big Rajput face of Western UP.
Video of PM Modi and Rana goes viral
A video of the conversation between PM Modi and Rana went viral on social media and people started making various speculations. Someone started saying that since Suresh Rana comes from the Rajput community, this conversation is also an attempt to remove the resentment of the Rajputs. In the same rally, when CM Yogi Adityanath was going to give a speech, he removed his chair and tried to go back, but PM Modi held his hand and asked him to go from the front. PM Modi also honored Yogi Adityanath through this.
Kshatriya community was troubled in western Uttar Pradesh
There are many reasons due to which the Kshatriya community is angry with Western Uttar Pradesh. One reason for this is the cancellation of ticket of Ghaziabad MP VK Singh. Also, BJP has given ticket to Atul Garg in his place. Apart from this, not fielding Rajput candidates on many other seats is also a reason for resentment. At the Kshatriya Swabhiman Mahakumbh organized in Nanauta Nagar, Saharanpur on Sunday, thousands of people of the Rajput community vowed that this time the Kshatriya community will avenge its insult by voting for such candidates who will defeat the BJP.
Rupala apologized as controversy escalated
People of Kshatriya community from 14 Lok Sabha constituencies of Western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan and Delhi participated in the Panchayat. Another complaint of the people of the society is that in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, where Kshatriyas have been the Chief Ministers, BJP has not made any Kshatriya the Chief Minister. In Ghaziabad, ticket has been given to Atul Garg of Vaishya community in place of General VK Singh. Non-Rajput candidates were also fielded on Saharanpur and Meerut seats. At that time, Gujarat's Patidar leader and Union Minister Purushottam Rupala had made remarks that hurt the self-respect of Rajput women, due to which the Kshatriya community is very angry. However, seeing the controversy increasing, Rupala also apologized.
