In the crucial states of UP, Maharashtra and West Bengal, the strategy of dividing voters on communal lines has not worked.
After the results of the recent Lok Sabha elections were announced and the BJP was compelled to form a coalition government at the Centre, it was expected that the strategy of causing a rift between the majority community and the principal minority, the Muslims, would be watered down. Unfortunately, that did not happen. It still is not only ‘business as usual’, but a new initiative to hit the Muslims where it hurts the most — their livelihood — has been rolled out in parts of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
Three of the parties supporting the BJP in this NDA government have protested. The Supreme Court, which is hearing petitions from Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra and others, has reacted by putting an ‘interim stay’ on the compulsory display of owners’ names on shops and handcarts.
But even more impactful is the defiance shown by a traditional Muslim dhaba owner, Choudhary Wahid Khan of Delapeer in Bareilly district. He immediately complied with the mischievous order while ornately decorating his eatery and printing words of affectionate welcome to the yatris.
One regular yatri brought his entire group of kanwariyas to the dhaba, thereby making a statement that should worry Yogi and his ilk”. https://www.tribuneindia.com/
