giriraj-singhs-hindu-swabhiman-yatra-raises-concerns-among-bjp-allies

Union Minister Giriraj Singhs Hindu Swabhiman Yatra, which passes through some of the minority-dominated districts of Bihar, has caused concerns among the BJP allies and the opposition parties, who have questioned the need for such a yatra. Singh, known as a vocal Hindutva leader, sparked off controversy when he announced his decision to undertake the yatra centred on uniting the Hindu community beyond caste differences. Singh, who started the yatra from Bhagalpur, which in the past had a chequered history of Hindu-Muslim riots, has been referring to the threats to the Hindus owing to the demographic change and attacks on religious processions of the majority community. I believe that the demography of the entire country has completely changed. It is under a well-thought-out strategy. This has happened due to vote traders. It is not only Sahebganj, Purnia, and Katihar. The demography of 400 districts has changed drastically, Giriraj Singh told a news agency. The BJP has distanced itself from the yatra, saying Giriraj Singh was doing it in his personal capacity, but leaders were free to join in their individual capacities. The first phase of the yatra started from Bhagalpur, will cover Katihar and Purnia Araria, and culminate in Kishanganj on October 22. The yatra is being held a year ahead of the scheduled assembly polls in Bihar. The BJP has not been able to overcome the caste divisions in the state as voters pick up candidates and parties based on caste lines. The resultant polarisation owing to the yatra may help create a sentiment in favour of the BJP. These minorities dominated districts bordering West Bengal. As the yatra is centred on the theme of demographic change, it finds resonance in Bengal and even in Jharkhand which is going to polls next month. The BJP has vociferously raised the issue of changing the demographic profile of the Jharkhand where tribals were now losing their edge owing to population imbalance. The BJP has already talked about bringing NRC in the state if voted to power. All eyes will be on the conduct of the yatra and its intended goal.

Taking out Yatra as Hindu: Giriraj Singh denies BJP, NDA affiliation

PATNA: A day after BJP distanced itself from his Hindu Swabhiman Yatra, union minister Giriraj Singh on Thursday contended that he was taking out the Yatra as a Hindu as it was neither affiliated with BJP, JD(U) or NDA. Singh will embark on his much-hyped Hindu Swabhiman Yata from Bhagalpur on Friday. He was talking to newspersons in his Lok Sabha constituency, Begusarai, before leaving for Bhagalpur. While contending that his yatra is non-political, Singh said, I am taking out yatra as a Hindu under the disciple of Swami Dipankar Ji. It is not connected with BJP, JD (U) or NDA. Singh said that his Yatra was aimed at awakening the Hindu community in Bihar, particularly in view of the recent anti-Hindu incidents in Bangladesh. He also targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi by alleging that he wanted to push the country into civil war and so he kept making statements without any seriousness. He referred to Rahul`s remark that the formation of a new government in Jammu and Kashmir without statehood was incomplete. Had it been such a case, Rahul should not have participated in the election process in Jammu and Kashmir itself, Singh commented. BJP firebrand leader`s yatra will conclude in Kishanganj on October 22 after passing the Muslim-dominated districts of Katihar, Purnia and Araria in the state`s Seemanchal region. On Wednesday, Bihar BJP president Dilip Jaiswal had made it clear that union minister`s Yatra was not affiliated with and was not taking place under the banner of the BJP. While asserting that the yatra will not affect Chief Minister Nitish Kumars secularism agenda, he said, There is nothing to be worried about the yatra. Earlier, JD (U) chief spokesperson and MLC Neeraj Kumar also objected to Singh`s decision to hold the yatra, alleging that Neeraj Kumar said that the people of Bihar were already awake and watchful and so there was no need for such an act (yatra). He also firmly distanced his party from Singhs yatra and asserted that the Bihar government under Nitish Kumar worked for all communities, including Hindus and Muslims in the Seemanchal region.
