Chhattisgarh Right-wing groups

Leaders of right-wing groups including the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the BJP, have urged Hindus in Chhattisgarh to start and “economic boycott” of Muslims and Christians in the after of the killing of a 22-year-old Hindu man and the ensuing communal violence that followed in the state’s Bemetara district on April 8.

A video of the protest event organized, reportedly organized in Jagdalpur, is doing the rounds on the internet and shows a gathering of around 100 people, including ex-BJP MP from Bastar Dinesh Kashyap among other leaders of the saffron party, taking a pledge of economic boycott of Muslims and Christians.

Watch the video here:

According to reports, Chhattisgarh royal scion Kamal Chandra Bhanjdeo and BJP district president Roop Singh Mandavi, besides former BJP MP Dinesh Kashyap and VHP activists, participated in the pledge organized at Aamaguda Chowk in Jagdalpur as they asked Hindus to put up signboards outside their shops and not do business with Muslims and Christians.

A police official said several complaints regarding the pledge event have been filed and the incident is being investigated, however, a case in this connection has not been registered yet.

The BJP, in a statement, said that although it extended the VHP’s dharna and bandh call to protest the Bemetara violence, however, it does not support the VHP’s pledge and social discrimination as the saffron party is “always determined and working for the development and service of all the society and classes in the country.”

On April 8, communal violence rocked Biranpur village, 60 kilometers from Bemetara town, purportedly after a fight between school kids. The clashes led to the death of a Biranpur resident, identified as 22-year-old Bhuvaneshwar Sahu, while three police personnel also sustained injuries.

Following the clashes, prohibitory orders under section 144 of the CrPC were imposed in the area and heavy deployment of around 1,000 policemen was made in and around the village to maintain law and order and prevent further escalation.

Road blocks have been erected by the police as all roads heading into the village have been blocked by barricades.

The Chhattisgarh government has announced financial assistance of Rs 10 lakh to family of Sahu, the man killed in the clashes, as well as a job for one family member of the victim.

Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, submitted his nomination for the Kannauj Lok Sabha constituency ahead of tomorrow’s second round of voting. In front of Ram Gopal Yadav and other party leaders, the chief of the SP, who had previously contested the seat in 2000, 2004 and 2009, submitted the nomination.

Speaking with media, Ram Gopal Yadav said that SP would win the seat by a huge margin. The BJP candidate might lose his deposit in the seat, he said.

The Samajwadi Party has completely reversed its earlier plan to field former Mainpuri MP Tej Pratap Singh Yadav as their candidate, which is a significant political development.

Earlier, Akhilesh Yadav told reporters, people will find out when the nomination takes place, in reference to the speculations that he will contest for the seat. The historic victory of Kannauj is the subject of inquiry.

The former chief minister continued, the people have decided that the India bloc is coming as the future and the BJP will be history in this election.

Notably, elections for the Kannauj seat are scheduled for May 13, which would intensify the political drama that is now playing out in Uttar Pradesh. Previously regarded as the Samajwadi Party’s stronghold, the seat was lost by the party in the 2019 election when Subrat Pathak of the BJP won with a resounding victory.

The candidates competing for the following Uttar Pradesh seats will find out their destiny in the second round of voting, which is scheduled for tomorrow, Amroha, Meerut, Mathura, Baghpat, Aligarh, Ghaziabad, Gautam Buddh Nagar, and Bulandshahar.

Notably, two Bollywood celebrities running as BJP candidates in the second round are Hema Malini from Mathura and Arun Govil from Meerut. There are 91 contestants from UP competing in the second phase.

The seats in Gautam Buddha Nagar and Mathura are up for grabs, with a maximum of 15 applicants per seat. In Bulandshahr, six candidates are vying for the presidency. There are twelve contenders running in Amroha, eight in Meerut, seven in Baghpat, and fourteen in Ghaziabad and Aligarh.
