Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the middle of Dalit powerhouse Mayawati and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav leading the opposition charge in Uttar Pradesh, induced Sant Kabir’s 15th-century message of equality of all, above caste and religion, he did this to make a good environment for BJP’s upcoming campaign for 2019.
During BJP’s 2014 campaign in Varanasi, the city being the holiest cities for Hindus became pretty much close to the party’s 2014 campaign and Maghar being one of the smallest towns in the states came across the party members. Though the town Maghar is no match for Varanasi as Sant Kabir breathed his last moments here so the town became the backdrop of the BJP’s message of equality at a time when BJP was battling allegations for ignoring caste and religious minorities.
“Sant Kabir did not believe in castes, he believed everyone is equal, We aim to take Kabir’s wisdom to the masses and include it in shaping a New India,” said the Prime Minister, after paying his respects to the saint on his 500th death anniversary.
“Those who talk of Samajwadi and Bahujan are only concerned about how to wrest power… They will lie and harm the well-being of people just to come to power,” the Prime Minister said targeting on Congress. Prime Minister Narendra Modi giving an example further declared that both the opposition parties though being traditional rivals came together only to seek power.
