On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had proclaimed Ram as the “faith, foundation and law” of India. Three days on, he appeared to redefine secularism, as well as social justice, as government welfare reaching all beneficiaries without “partiality”.
“My government does what it says; Complete the projects you start. My effort is to make the government’s projects advantageous for all beneficiaries,” the prime minister said at a government program-turned-election rally in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh.
“Modi offers them the guarantee of saturation, of the policy of a hundred cents of others through the schemes. There is no room for bias when the government reaches a hundred cent beneficiaries. There is no room for corruption when the government reaches a hundred cents of beneficiaries. a consistent percentage of beneficiaries. And this is true secularism, true social justice.
The Muslim population of Bulandshahr and other districts in western Uttar Pradesh is higher (25-45%) than in eastern districts such as Ayodhya.
Elaborating on the new definition of secularism, Modi continued: “The desires of any network are the same; The desires and dreams of farmers in any network are the same; The desires and dreams of women on the net are also the same. The dreams and demanding situations of young people in any network are the same. That’s why Modi wants to help everyone else in need, without any discrimination. “
He then attacked the conflicting political parties by referencing a slogan used effectively by Indira Gandhi more than a century ago.
“After independence, some coined the slogan ‘Garibi hatao’ (eradicating poverty) and others lied for the sake of social justice,” Modi said.
“But the poor of the country saw that luck came to some families. . . The poor, the Dalits and the backward were afraid of criminals and riots. But the scenario is changing now because Modi is honestly committed to serving him. “
On Thursday, Modi remotely laid the groundwork for around 19 billion rupee projects in Bulandshahr, adding new railway lines, water and sewage pipelines, an oil pipeline and road connectivity to commercial cities.
Although traveling to attend a government program, Modi travels in an open jeep for the last 20 kilometers of his 90-kilometer road adventure from New Delhi to Bulandshahr, flanked by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and BJP Chairman Bhupendra Chaudhary.
He entered the meeting place, the Chandmari ground in the district’s Chola domain, greeted the crowd, and began his speech by invoking Ram and Ayodhya.
“I had an auspicious sight of Lord Ram in Ayodhya Dham on January 22,” he said.
He reminded the other people of western Uttar Pradesh that “this region belongs to Kalyan Singh, who dedicated his life to the service of Ram and the nation. “
Kalyan, the BJP’s leading minister from Uttar Pradesh, when a mob of kar sevaks demolished Babri Masjid in Ayodhya on December 6, 1992, it was not easy to build a Ram temple on the site. Kalyan, an OBC politician, died in 2021.
“He (Kalyan) will have to be extremely happy to see Ayodhya Dham wherever he is. This is our chance to have fulfilled his dream and that of others,” Modi said.
“I had said in the proximity of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya that while the Pran Pratistha is complete, now is the time to take the glory of the nation to new heights. We have to build a path from the god (dev) to the country (desh); from Ram to rashtra. Our target is to make India a developed country by 2047.”
On the dais, Adityanath presented Modi with an idol of Ram and a marble plaque with a comic strip by an artist from the city of Ayodhya. He said the prime minister went to Bulandshahr to bless the other people after inaugurating the Ram temple.
