In Maharashtra, UP CM Yogi’s proposed slogan ‘Bantenge ko Katenge’ is gaining popularity. After the Lok Sabha elections, now also in the Assembly elections, the Congress has promised to conduct a caste census and take reservation beyond 50 per cent if it wins power. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath continuously launch political attacks on this policy of gathering votes on caste basis, where today the Prime Minister has given the slogan “If we remain united, we will be safe” , then Yogi Adityanath constantly says, “If we divide, we will remain safe.” They give slogans like “Katenge” and “If we remain united, we will remain righteous.” But now this slogan is receiving a strong response from opposition parties.
What did Ajit Pawar say?
Let us tell you that in Maharashtra, NDA colleague Ajit Pawar had earlier raised questions about Yogi Adityanath’s slogan of ‘If we divide, we will cut’. Ajit Pawar had said that Maharashtra is the land of Shivaji, Ambedkar and Shahu Ji Maharaj. Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar said people from outside Maharashtra come and express such views, BJP CMs from other states should decide what to say. Ajit Pawar said that we are working together in Mahayuti, but our party ideologies are different. We all run our government according to a common minimum program. This is done for the development of the country. Even today we stick to the ideas of Shiv Shahu Phule. This may work in other states, but it doesn’t work in Maharashtra. BJP chief ministers from other states should decide what to say.
Uddhav Thackeray targeted
At the same time, now Uddhav Thackeray (UBT chief), while targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, said that wherever one goes today in Maharashtra, Bala Saheb Thackeray’s photo is seen on the posters of almost every political parties, but Maybe not on the BJP posters, but the image of Narendra Modi or Amit Shah will not be seen, because their image is a guarantee of defeat. He said Modi and Shah are guaranteed defeat.
Congress fought back
Congress leader Bala Saheb Thorat, commenting on the BJP’s slogan of ‘If we divide, we will cut’, said Congress never instigates inter-religious and caste struggle. The BJP’s job is to create a fight between religions and spread false propaganda. The BJP sometimes talks about electoral jihad and sometimes raises slogans like “If we divide, we will cut.”
Sanjay Raut said attack
UBT MP Sanjay Raut also launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Modi with the slogan “If we divide, we will cut”. He said he doesn’t understand why Modi speaks such language. If the slogan “If we are divided, we will be divided” did not work, now we have come up with the slogan “If we are united, we will be safe.” Raut said that people are safe in Maharashtra, but every time Modi comes, an atmosphere of insecurity is created because he divides people and tries to incite riots. He said that to make Maharashtra safer, the BJP needs to be eliminated.
The PNC also pointed out
NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) leader Rohit Pawar, reacting to the BJP’s slogan of ‘If you divide, you will be divided’, said that the BJP has no other problem. He said such things will not work in Maharashtra, because people here do not support these slogans. Maharashtra is a holy land and people here believe in spirituality. Rohit Pawar said that this strategy of the BJP will fail and alleged that the BJP wants to polarize Maharashtra because it is desperate.
