“We will change the name of Hyderabad to Bhagyanagar. We will change the name of Karimnagar to Karipuram if we come to power,” said Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath during his campaigning for BJP in Telangana. Yogi, who is considered as BJP’s poster boy of Hindutva politics, failed to enthuse people or influence voters in Telangana.
This rejection of divisive politics of the BJP has been clear from the state’s voters. On the other hand, dismissing BJP’s politics, TRS Chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao commented that “Hyderabad peru marustha, toka marutha….annadu (they said, they will change the name of Hyderabad), where are they?,” he asked.
The Telangana election results have made it clear that people of Telangana have rejected BJP’s brand of religious politics and name-changing tactics. The party which had won 5 seats in 2014 and contest from nearly 100 of them in Telangana, won only single seat in the state – Goshamahal.
Even the Assembly elections in three other states have seen Congress limping back slowly but effectively to its form with BJP’s magic fading away in the country. At least now, BJP should focus on real development issues rather than using “Ram Temple” or “Religion” as its tool to win elections.
