Beyond Bihar elections, BJP puts ‘backward’ in its priority list

New Delhi: PM Narendra Modi on Friday announced plans for a grand celebration of the second birth centenary of the 19th-century social reformer Jyotiba Phule, which can be seen as an important gesture for the OBC, who honors the anti-ethnic worker, who also made women education champion.Modi said, “In the near future, we will mark the 200th birth anniversary of the great social reformer Jyotiba Phule. We are going to start a ceremony for this anniversary. Phule’s principles and mantras” are “an inspiration for us,” Modi said. The proposed ceremonies mark the height of the Phule, born in the Mali caste, in the National Panthean.The BJP consisted of Phule and his wife Savitribai, who were known for ‘passionate and tireless’ for women’s education, among the gallery of icons long ago. But Modi’s plans for their bicentiry embrace a warm neck.Modi said that his government is working to implement Phule’s mantra. “By prioritizing the backward, we want to reach the heights of change. We want to keep in our extreme effort for this. Through transparent policies, we want to make” a priority backward “a reality on the ground, bringing it to the life of every backward person”.The comment was observed from several prisms, including the adjacent decision on the vice -president, the choice of the new BJP chief and the Bihar elections, where OBCs would play a decisive role. For a long time Phule, Bihar has been a major impact on the OBC, many of the intermediate castes of Kushwahas and Koiris, like Malis, are engaged in horticulture, as one about them.The PM also talked about Dalits and other deprived sections, while the government emphasized the government’s need to be active about improvement in life. He said, “Whether they are Dalits, oppressed, exploited, or deprived, the government should be constantly positive for them, the government should be a supporting person,” he said.Modi said that some people are suffering from misunderstanding that their government was implementing schemes for the welfare of the underprivileged, similarly like its predecessors. “We are implementing plans on the ground. We insist on saturation because if there is a correct execution of social justice, it is in saturation where no eligible person is left.”PHULE’s biseentenery ceremony will mark the co-disagreement by the BJP of another mythical social reformer in Maharashtra, when BR Ambedkar was formally included in the ‘Hall of Insopiation’. Even the practice of adopting those who once looked inconsistent with the original ethos of the party, have gone to hand with the expansion of their base beyond the core. It collected speed under Modi, which, as PM, went strictly to identify the party with Ambedkar’s legacy.
