On Sunday, March 17, a giant opposition rally was held in Mumbai’s Shivaji Park to mark the end result of Rahul Gandhi’s nationwide ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’. The rally was attended by high opposition leaders together with M Okay Stalin, Sharad Pawar, Uddhav Thackeray, Mallikarjun Kharge, Tejashwi Yadav, Dr Farooq Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti and others. All of them referred to as for opposition unity, however one comment by Rahul Gandhi on the rally brought on a giant controversy. Rahul Gandhi mentioned, “there is a word ‘Shakti’ in Hindu Dharma, and we are fighting against this Shakti”. On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whereas addressing rallies in Jagtial (Telangana) and Shivmogga (Karnataka) lashed out, saying , “Mothers and sisters, I worship you as Shakti. I am Bharat Mata’s pujari (worshipper)..Can anyone talk about destroying Shakti on Indian soil? I will put my life at stake to protect Nari Shakti….People must give the opposition a befitting response for talking about destroying “Shiv Shakti’ to which India had recently dedicated the success of its Chandrayaan lunar mission…The elections will be a defining battle between those who worship Shakti as a manifestation of female divinity and people seeking to destroy it.” Modi mentioned, “INDI alliance’s objective is now clear, it wants to put an end to the Shakti of Sanatan dharma.” In Shivmogga, Modi mentioned, “what was said at Shivaji Park might have surely hurt the soul of Late Balasaheb Thackeray, the founder of Shiv Sena….BJP always considers women as its silent voters…. for us, women are not only voters, they are the incarnation of Shakti, our Suraksha Kavach (shield of security)”.
By afternoon, Congress leaders have been working for canopy as they realized that Rahul Gandhi’s mistake may price the celebration closely. In his tweet, Rahul Gandhi clarified saying that “Modi always distorts my words, since I speak the truth….My reference to Shakti was to the power of evil, corruption and lies, of which Modi is the mask and slave….The shakti that the opposition is fighting is the one which has taken in its clutches the entire constitutional framework – the voice of India, our institutions, ED, CBI, income tax department, election commission, media and the corporate world… The mask of that power is Shakti….I did not speak about religious shakti, but one of evil.” The reality is, Rahul Gandhi on the Mumbai rally did say these phrases: “There is a word Shakti in Hindu dharma, and we are fighting against this Shakti.” Even after this clarification, Congress leaders have realized that Rahul has scored a self-goal and he and his associates try to cowl it up now. Congress leaders Pawan Khera and Digvijaya Singh mentioned, “there are two types of Shakti – Divine Power and Evil Power, and Rahul was referring to “Asuri Shakti” (evil energy).” Acharya Pramod Krishnam, who left Congress just lately mentioned, “most of the time Rahul does not know what he is saying and why? He is given a script to read, and then he says anything. Anyway, Rahul must now clarify whether his fight is against BJP or against Hindu Dharma?” It is a incontrovertible fact that Rahul commits a blunder after each few days embarrassing his celebration leaders, who then attempt to iron out points. One Congress chief mentioned, what can we do? If Rahul Gandhi offers a full toss, naturally Modi will hit a sixer. Sometimes, he says ‘Chowkidar Chor Hai’, generally it’s mentioned ‘Modi has no family’, and now he mentioned, ‘our fight is against Hindu Shakti’. These are factors which give Modi a deal with to hit again.
Narendra Modi is a good campaigner, and he by no means leaves any probability. The newest improvement is: crowds are turning out within the streets of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala to see and listen to Modi. Congress and its allies think about South India as their area, the place BJP usually doesn’t win many seats, however Modi is making an attempt his finest to show the tables.
