लगता है विपक्षी खेमे ने भी बहुत सोच विचार कर सनातन की डिबेट को हवा दी है, शायद इसीलिए स्टालिन पुत्र उदयनिधि इस मुद्दे पर इतनी उछल कूद मचा रहे हैं, सो वे सुविचारित रूप से सनातन को कभी डेंगू, कभी मलेरिया या कभी कोरोना बुलाते हैं। सनानत धर्म का मुद्दा अब विपक्षी गठबंधन इंडिया के लिए भी एक एसिड टेस्ट हो गया है। दक्षिण से अलग उत्तर भारत में विपक्ष के लिए सनातन का अर्थ वर्णवाद से जुड़ा है। वैसे भी दक्षिण भारत में ब्राह्मणवाद के विरोध का फायदा हमेशा से विपक्षी दल उठाते रहे हैं, कारण ओबीसी व दलित जैसी जातियां हमेशा से ब्राह्मणों से त्रस्त रही है। ओबीसी व दलित जातियों को मद्देनज़र रखते ही भाजपा के शीर्ष नेतृत्व ने अपने नेताओं व वक्ताओं से कहा है कि ’वे बिलावजह सनातन डिबेट में न उलझें।’ वहीं जी-20 समिट में मेहमानों को जहां शुद्ध शाकाहारी भोजन परोसा जाता है, तो वहीं राहुल गांधी का लालू यादव के साथ वह वीडियो वायरल हो जाता है जिसमें वे खास चंपारण मीट पकाते नज़र आते हैं। यह विपक्षी गठबंधन इंडिया की एक सुविचारित रणनीति हो सकती है। शायद यही वजह है कि एक ओर जहां भाजपा राम मंदिर की बात करती है तो सपा नेता स्वामी प्रसाद मौर्य और आरजेडी नेता व बिहार के शिक्षा मंत्री चंद्रशेखर रामचरित मानस के विरोध में अलख जगाते हैं, चंद्रशेखर तुर्रा उछालते हैं कि ’रामचरित मानस में तो पोटेशियम साइनाइट है।’ पिछले दो लोकसभा चुनावों यानी 2014 व 2019 में ओबीसी वोटरों ने भाजपा का साथ दिया था, इंडिया गठबंधन इसी गणित को पलटने में जुटा है।
Mumtaz Patel, daughter of the late Ahmed Patel, who was once the pivot of Congress politics and one of the party’s Chanakya, has stepped up her pace to enter active Congress politics. Mumtaz along with her father’s former aide Yatindra Sharma met Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge and Venugopal on the same day an important meeting was going on at the Congress headquarters in Delhi regarding Chhattisgarh. Kanishk Singh and Mukul Wasnik are said to have played an important role in getting this meeting fixed. Ahmed Patel’s once very trusted people wanted Mumtaz to get a place in the Congress Working Committee, the top decision-making body of the party. It is also being heard that Kharge proposed to Mumtaz to take over the reins of Mahila Congress, but Mumtaz has refused for it. Mumtaz wants to contest the next Lok Sabha election from her father’s Bharuch seat. This seat was continuously held by the Congress from 1952 to 1977. In 1977, when the anti-Congress wave was going on in the country, Ahmed Patel was fielded by the Congress and then Patel won the election and after winning, he supported Indira Gandhi. Then Ahmed Patel won the elections of 1980 and 1985 from Bharuch to make it a triumvirate of victories and in 1989 he was elected to the Rajya Sabha, and thereafter continued to remain in the Rajya Sabha, but his relationship with Bharuch was never broken. He continued to represent Bharuch, while Bharuch is a seat dominated by Rajputs. Rahul Gandhi has set a target of giving 50 per cent space to the youth under 50 in the Congress organization, that is why Mumtaz also feels that she is going to get something big in the Congress organization.

Why has Chandrasekhar Rao, who once roamed across the country creating a hue and cry against the BJP, has taken such a big political ‘U-turn’? Why suddenly the swords of the investigating agencies on his daughter Kavita have become blunt in the liquor scam? Is KCR now ready to help BJP from inside? For example, when KCR reached the Vitthal Rukmini temple in Pandharpur, Maharashtra with his convoy of 600 vehicles to offer prayers, a new political equation was also seen taking shape there. After worshiping, KCR also demonstrated his power by holding a rally there. KCR is said to have entered into a secret pact with the BJP to challenge the Maha Aghadi alliance in Maharashtra under which he is fielding candidates all over Maharashtra, so as to make a dent in the Maha Aghadi’s vote bank, as there is a sizeable number of Telugu speaking people in Vidarbha, Maharashtra. In return, BJP will not cross KCR’s path in Telangana and if needed, his daughter Kavita can also get ‘shelter’.

On the one hand, while the efforts of the opposition unity are going on, the BJP is also chalking out its election preparations. In this context, the party’s central leadership has almost confirmed that ‘in the 2024 elections, the party will say goodbye to its 70 plus MPs and replace them with new faces.’ The ticket cutting is also considered to be fixed. For this, the BJP has also prepared the report card of all its sitting MPs. The BJP has set a target of winning all 80 seats in UP. Those MPs whose tickets might get cut are Satyadev Pachauri, VK Singh, Hema Malini, Rita Bahuguna Joshi, Ramapati Ram Tripathi, Santosh Gangwar, Jagdambika Pal and Satyapal Singh, and even Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh who is facing the heat of the wrestlers and opposition. The tickets of 6 out of 17 present MPs of Bihar may be cut, which may include the names of Giriraj Singh, Ashwini Choubey, RK Singh, Radha Mohan Singh, Rama Devi and Ravi Shankar Prasad. Sensing the essence of the occasion, Ashwini Choubey is already scrambling for a ticket for her son Arjit Shashwat. It is being told that the tickets of 10 sitting saffron MPs from Gujarat, 9 from Karnataka, 8 from Maharashtra, 2 from Jharkhand, 5 from Madhya Pradesh and 5 from Rajasthan are almost certain to be cut. This process of ticket cutting can start only from the coming assembly elections of 5 states. The Sangh is also said to be in favor of ‘betting only on new and fresh faces in big Hindi heartland states like Madhya Pradesh’, and there are reports that 40 sitting BJP MLAs from Madhya Pradesh may also be denied tickets.

On this 23rd June in Patna, when the new scene of opposition unit was put forward, knowingly or unknowingly Rahul Gandhi ‘looted’ the united opposition’s ‘appeal’. In the clan of 15 opposition parties, out of 13 parties, only Rahul was received by CM Nitish along with his team of ministers at Patna airport. Nitish wanted to ‘receive Rahul and take him directly from the airport to his CM residence, where the meeting of the opposition unit was called.’ As he reached the ashram, where a huge crowd of Congressmen had gathered, referring to the country’s first President Rajendra Prasad, Rahul shouted that ‘Bihar is in the DNA of the Congress.’ When he was passing through the South Indian states, he was welcomed by a huge crowd of people from Bihar, working in these southern states. The most important thing is that the Bihar Congress did not publicize Rahul’s arrival enough that Rahul came to the Sadakat Ashram and greeted the Congress workers. Despite this, Congressmen thronged to Rahul’s meeting. In this important meeting of the opposition parties, Lalu Yadav reached Nitish’s house half an hour before the meeting time and this has put an end to the speculations that nothing is going well between RJD and JDU in the state. Mamata Banerjee reached Lalu’s house first, which was enough to tell the importance of this leader of Bihar. In a way, Lalu became a ‘centre-stage’ of the whole meeting. He appeared hesitantly in white kurta-pajama and he also made a loud noise that he is ‘absolutely fit.’ Moreover, Lalu’s ‘wedding jibe’ at Rahul has also stamped the fact that in 2024, Rahul will be the ‘bridegroom’ of the united opposition i.e. he will be the face of the opposition. As this column was the first to expose the secret that the Congress wants the ‘next meeting of the opposition unit to be held in a Congress-ruled state’ ‘, Congress had also suggested two options on its behalf, Shimla or Jaipur, and finally this meeting was approved in the name of Shimla.
