MANGALURU: If one had been to hear “Bolo Bharat Mata ki jai” one would naturally presume that a BJP candidate is campaigning in that house. However, things can't be a long way from the reality. The Congress has been for the first time the usage of slogans which have been earlier within the unique purview of the BJP like, ‘’Bolo Bharat Mata ki jai and “Vande Martaram” with alarming regularity in BJP ruled spaces, a lot to the chagrin of the opposition.
That isn't all, Congress staff in Dakshina Kannada also are wearing saffron shawls round their shoulders while conserving campaigns for his or her candidates. It is commonplace that candidates of all political events seek advice from, temples, churches and masjids all through the campaign within the coastal district, which is thought of as as a communally-sensitive area. Congress members are not a long way at the back of in the case of visiting religious shrines. However, contemporary campaigns of the Congress appear to have given extra emphasis to ‘Hindutva’ which used to be in a different way the mainstay of the BJP. Youth Congress leaders, including district Youth Congress president Mithun Rai and his followers, had been seen campaigning for the birthday party within the district.
“No one has given a Hindutva contract to the BJP,” says district Congress Committee president K Harish Kumar. He informed TOI that it is not important for one to turn into a member of the BJP to spot himself as a Hindu. “For them, only BJP staff are Hindus. For us, everyone born to Hindu folks are Hindus. We have a large number of Hindus within the Congress too, and we have not given the contract of Hindutva to the BJP. It is correct that our birthday party staff too campaign wearing saffron shawls and shout slogans like ‘Bolo Bharat Mata Ki Jai’,” said Harish Kumar.
Mithun Rai said, “The distinction between the BJP and Congress is that they're the usage of saffron to create hatred and we're the usage of it for harmony. The color saffron isn't the sole assets of the BJP. We have now not politicized Hindutva even though we're Hindus. I've been the usage of the saffron color for a number of years. Our Hindutva is the true Hindutva. The BJP has been the usage of Hindutva just for vote financial institution politics. We were the usage of saffron while campaigning to be sure that it will have to be made a color of communal harmony. It will have to now not be a tool to divide folks.”
BJP district campaign committee in-charge Monappa Bhandary said the Congress is engaged in vote financial institution politics the usage of saffron. “Till recently they had been bearing in mind saffron and the Bharat Mata slogan as ‘haram’. However, it’s a shame that now they're the usage of each just for vote financial institution politics. Now they don't seem to be sure about their victory. Hence, they're adopting such crooked strategies. At least now they have got proven courage to announce that they're Hindus.”
