Lucknow, 15th April. On the birth anniversary of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, the Yogi government in Uttar Pradesh organized several programs across the state. It is quite obvious that now the Bhartiya Janata Party’s mission is to focus at Dalit agenda for 2024 polls. A large number of Dalit voters have turned to the BJP in the 2022 polls.
On the birth anniversary of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, programs were organized across the country, but this time a different atmosphere was visible in UP. The BJP, which came to power again in UP with massive victory, had made special preparations this time. The party not only imposed the duty of each of its office bearers in the districts, but MPs, Union ministers and ministers of Yogi government also participated in the program. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath himself attended three programs to pay tribute to Dr. Ambedkar in Lucknow. Yogi also apprised about the works his government has done for the deprived sections.
Actually, BJP had prepared a long list of programs to celebrate Dr. Ambedkar Jayanti. This day was celebrated as Social Harmony Day across the state. These programs were organized throughout the fortnight.
The ‘Seva Saptah’ was started from the foundation day of BJP on 6th April and it was celebrated till 14th April. The special thing is that while UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath himself is seen active in these programs, UP BJP President and minister in Yogi government Swatantra Dev Singh also participated in many programs. BJP leaders went to the Dalit settlements and informed about the benefits of the government’s schemes.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath first paid homage at the Ambedkar statue in Hazratganj. After that he attended the program of Ambedkar Mahasabha. Let us tell you that in the Ambedkar Mahasabha itself, Yogi Adityanath was given the title of ‘Dalit Mitra’ in 2018.
Union Minister Kaushal Kishor, UP Government Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak and State President/Ministers Swatantra Dev Singh, Jai Veer Singh and Aseem Arun were also present in the program. Excited people here also raised slogans of ‘Bulldozer Baba ki Jai’.
The CM bowed down to Babasaheb and said that the next program would be held in that grand memorial, which is being prepared to pay tribute to Babasaheb. The UP government is getting this monument constructed, which will have facilities like a research center and a grand library apart from the auditorium.
In the program, CM Yogi apprised about the implementation of central schemes. Along with this, he also told the vision of his government. Yogi said that only the BJP government under the leadership of the Prime Minister supported the deprived sections. Babasaheb’s ashes were kept in Ambedkar Mahasabha itself, which was handed over to his wife Dr. Savita Ambedkar in 1991.
Considering the analysis and voting pattern after the assembly elections 2022, it is clear that a major reason for the victory of BJP in UP is the vote of the beneficiaries and it is clear from the study of caste data that a large number of beneficiaries belong to the deprived Classes.
In the Lok Sabha elections to be held in the year 2024, BJP’s focus will be on Dalits. Along with government schemes, through programs on the occasion of birth anniversary of Dalit great men, BJP is trying to make maximum impact among Dalits. On the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti, the entire administration of BJP was involved to make the programs grand.
