UP POLITICS

BJP's thunderous Eastern UP & Kurmi OBC Push continues amidst pliant, weaker, unintelligent OBC leadership of Hindi heartland. t is amazing to see intellectual bankruptcy of North Indian OBC intelligensia, who are day dreaming of having "defeated" BJP on NEET issue.

Amit Shah visits Mirzapur in Eastern UP to innagurate"modernization" project of highly revered "Ma Vindhyavasini Devi" temple corridor & he is hosted by Anupriya Patel of Eastern UP's Kurmi OBC centric Apna Dal (Sonelal Patel)& North India OBC intelligensia doesn't even notice ?

Kurmi OBC community is nearly 25% of total OBC population of UP and is largely concentrated in Eastern UP. They are second only to Yadavs, who are nearly 40% of OBC population of UP. Sonelal Patel was a young OBC leader, who was cultivated by Kanshiram as Kurmi leader in 1980s.

Sonelal Patel was earlier part of Kanshiram's BSP but he got ambitious upon seeing success of Mulayam Singh Yadav's successful politicization of Yadav votes into SP. He departed from BSP and formed "Apna Dal" in 1995 to politicise UP Kurmi votes. Anupriya Patel is his daughter.

Anupriya Patel, who is currently serving in Modi cabinet (2nd time) has emerged as popular Kurmi leader and inheritor of her father's legacy beating her own estranged mother Krishna Patel and sister Pallavi over inherting "Apna Dal".She has been allying with BJP from day one.

Anupriya Patel few days back, before announcement of 27% OBC reservations in NEET, had met PM Modi along with a delegation of OBC leaders from BJP & JD(U) to "request" PM for extending 27% OBC reservations in NEET (medical) college entrance. PM soon announced reservation decision

Contrary to false social media narrative pushed by (mostly North Indian) OBC intelligensia & organizations of having "defeated" BJP, reality is absolutely opposite on ground. Willful &high-profile announcement of OBC reservations has only upset BJP's core Upper Caste Hindu voters

Upper caste Hindus of North India are increasingly upset with BJP after being hit badly economically due to BJP's mismanagement and having suffered personal loss in second wave of Coronavirus. BJP knows that it will NOT get good chunk of Upper Caste Hindu vote in next elections.

Upset Upper caste Hindus of North India are making sarcastic memes on social media of how BJP is turning "anti-Savarna" and "pro Dalit" and "pro-OBC". BJP also seems to be OK with this as they are now aggressively pushing its Dalit-OBC expansion, all over India, essentially UP.

It was very unusual (though characteristic of Modi-Shah) to aggressively annouce decision of 27% OBC reservations inNEET on social media for something, which is routine administrative decision. Though BJP did add 10%EWS for Upper Castes, expecting that not all UCs will desert BJP

BJP'S Dalit-OBC push, which their IT cell fancifully calls "Sub altern Hindutva" is a reality, which BOTH Congress and Dalit-OBC intelligensia is ignoring to their own peril.

Any one who thinks that NEET reservations is "defeat" of BJP and its loss of face among OBCs is a fool.

This is where "Ma Vindhyavasini" Temple corridor project comes into picture.

"Ma Vindhyavasini" is benevolent avatar of more fierce Durga, both manifestation of female "Shakti" pantheon of Hinduism.

Vindhyavasini Temple is believed to be home of the Goddess, where she resided.

Unlike "Shakti Peeths", which are located on places, where body parts of Sati (Shakti) fell, Vindhyavas is "home" of Shakti, who is believed to have residence on hills of Vindhyachal (Eastern UP). The religious and political significance of Ma Vindhyavasini Temple is huge.

"Ma Vindhyavasini Temple" Corridor project, which is being publicised to be modeled on lines of Kashi Vishwansth Temple project is bound to have tremendous impact on highly Sanskritized Kurmi OBC community that is crucial for electoral victory in Eastern UP.

By announcing"mega" Ma Vindhyavasini Temple Corridor project and taking along Anupriya Patel of Apna Dal, the BJP is aggressively reaching out to both Kurmis and other OBC & Dalit castes of Eastern UP, who also have strong faith in Ma Vindhyavasini Temple.

Lastly,
It is pathetic to see such lack of political acumen among OBC intelligensia & so called political analysts from English speaking Upper Castes, who seem to be living in their own utopian world by focusing their energy on NEET "victory".How can NEET defeat Ma Vindhyavasini?
