Bhopal: In Madhya Pradesh, claws are out in a gray-field quarrel over a white tiger safari. Who keeps Mohan’s legacy, a big cat was captured as a cub in 1951, yet the Maharaja of Reva who became an ancestor of almost all white tigers in captivity in the world? This question has changed the government regularly regularly of the district map in the MP in a large -scale turf war.After a letter from the Miahar district administration on August 7, Mukundpur – Home – Home – should be transferred to the neighboring Rewa for the world’s only white tiger safari, politicians and common people of both districts are in Loggerheads. While in Rewa he says that this is a “homecoming”, people in Mahar are in a weapon against this step, heating politics in the Vindhya region.The letter proposes to transfer the recommendations of the restructuring commission of the state’s administrative boundaries, to transfer Mukundpur and five neighboring panchayats in Miahar to Rehar district – Anandgarh, Amin, Dhobat, Parsia and Papara -. On paper, it is a matter of re -preparing the map. On the ground, it is a tug-off-world on history, tourism revenue and political reputation.For Rewa, Safari is more than just one attraction – it is a birthright. Mohan’s stuffed still protects the Rewa Palace Museum, his story is in the identity of the region. Bringing the safari into the official boundaries of Rewa, the supporters argue, “will bring Mohan home”.But in the Amarpatan belt of Miahar, this step has landed like a hostile acquisition. Satna MP Ganesh Singh called it a “calculated conspiracy”, while BJP veteran and former minister Ramkhilwan Patel had vowed that the village will be in Mahar “. Congress Heavyweight and former president Rajendra Kumar Singh has moved forward, he has accused Deputy CM Rajendra Shukla that he suggests “Catch the White Tiger Safari” and to call for the Gandhian -style Satyagraha, even suggested “filling the Miyar Jail” in protest.Opponents allege that the time was not an accident: the letter was issued a day after the sudden end of the assembly session, claiming that the local MLA to stop the debate. Singh has warned the villagers to expect “pressure” to sign the officials, urging them to oppose “local Mir Jaffer and Zichand”.The bets are high – not only the safari attracts tourists across the country, but its brand price is unmatched in wildlife tourism of Madhya Pradesh. For now, the map has not changed. But in Vindhya Heartland, the fight over Mukundpur is rapidly becoming as much about political dominance as the legacy of a mythical tiger.
