The report from the bottom is that Muslims really feel cheated by Akhilesh and their votes will probably be break up between Owaisi and Congress

With a 12 months to go for the all-important Uttar Pradesh meeting polls, the Samajwadi Party has launched its personal model of temple-hopping, on the strains of Rahul Gandhi’s travels to Hindu locations of worship previous to the 2017 Gujarat polls and the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has realised that even dreaming of taking up the Yogi juggernaut in UP wants a technique to rethink and overhaul on the a part of the SP. So, like many different opposition events, Akhilesh Yadav is enjoying the soft-Hindutva card. However, the state’s Muslims should not liking this technique, and their votes at the moment are about to be break up between Owaisi’s AIMIM and Congress.It all started, when on December 15 final 12 months, Akhilesh landed in Ayodhya the place a grand Ram Mandir is being constructed, to stress all of the “religious work” his celebration had performed within the metropolis. “Lord Rama belongs to the Samajwadi Party. We are Ram bhakts (devotees) and Krishna bhakts,” he had stated again then.For making an attempt to acceptable Shri Ram as solely being a deity of the Samajwadi Party, Akhilesh Yadav courted no controversy, because the liberal media selected to disregard his assertion. However, UP’s Muslims didn’t give a miss to such explicitly pro-Hindutva alerts being given by the SP Chief.Akhilesh has not appeared again ever since. As reported by ThePrint, he was on the well-known Lakshman Pahari Temple in Chitrakoot, Madhya Pradesh, on 8 January. On the identical day, he additionally visited the Kamadgiri Temple in Chitrakoot. In a tweet dated January 10, Yadav tweeted an image with the caption, “Hare Rama, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare.”Ten days later, Akhilesh was on the Vimalnath temple at Farrukhabad in UP and, on 24 January, he visited the Buddha Temple at Shravasti. Apart from hopping from one temple to the opposite, the self-proclaimed socialist chief, who ought to ideally be an atheist, has additionally been assembly Hindu saints. On 4 January, he even introduced that no tax can be collected from spiritual locations if his celebration was elected to energy in meeting polls subsequent 12 months.Such extreme show of being a pro-Hindu by Akhilesh Yadav, whose celebration has traditionally grabbed energy within the state by counting on the Muslim vote together with that of its devoted caste vote banks, has not augured properly for Samajwadi traditionalists. Ground inputs counsel that the Muslims significantly, are being alienated by the Samajwadi Party’s rising affinity in direction of soft-Hindutva. Already having witnessed how an SP-BSP mix failed miserably in 2019, the state’s Muslims are actively evaluating their political choices now.At the forefront is Owaisi’s AIMIM, which relaxation assured, will lower votes in Muslim-dominated constituencies, and maybe even win them, just like the scrapping of butter with a knife. Not far behind the AIMIM is the Congress, for which the Muslims won’t shrink back from voting after withdrawing their assist to the Akhilesh and Samajwadi Party. Effectively, what was once a consolidated Muslim vote for the SP to this point, will subsequent 12 months be lower tremendously by the AIMIM and the Congress.We do probably not must spill out who advantages from such a division of historically consolidated vote banks. The BJP may be very properly getting into 2022 able of power. The Hindus are rallying behind it large time, whereas the Muslim vote will get divided into three parts after the failure of Akhilesh Yadav’s grand plan of the SP-BSP alliance. Rest assured, the BJP will storm to energy in Uttar Pradesh as soon as once more come 2022.
