Haryana Politics: In the Haryana Assembly Elections 2024, BJP has achieved a major political success by securing power for the third consecutive time. After the electoral victory, the process of government formation is now in full swing, and in this connection, the process of selection of the Chief Minister will be completed in the Legislature Party meeting on October 16. After this, the swearing-in ceremony will be organized on October 17. BJP did not choose this special day just like that, but there is a well-thought-out strategy behind it, through which the party has planned to give a big political message in the politics of Haryana.

October 17: Maharishi Valmiki Jayanti and BJP's strategy

October 17, 2024 is the birth anniversary of Maharishi Valmiki, the author of the epic Ramayana. The people of Valmiki society celebrate this day as Pargat Diwas, which is an important festival for them. Keeping this occasion in mind, BJP has organized its swearing-in ceremony in Haryana, which makes it clear that the party has adopted a strategy to give an important message to the Dalit community. Through this, BJP is trying to strengthen its hold among the Dalit community.

The Haryana government has already declared Valmiki Jayanti as a public holiday. In this way, the BJP has ensured through its political maneuvers that the Dalit community is specially linked to the swearing-in of the government on Valmiki Jayanti.

BJP's eye on Dalit vote bank

The Dalit vote bank was a major issue in the 2024 elections of Haryana. Both the BJP and the Congress put in all their efforts to get the support of the Dalit community. The BJP had attacked the Congress by linking Congress leader Kumari Selja to the issue of Dalit self-respect. This political move benefited the BJP, and now the party is trying to strengthen the message that it is working in the interest of Dalits by organizing the swearing-in on the day of Valmiki Jayanti.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Chief Ministers of other BJP-ruled states will attend this swearing-in ceremony, which will further increase the importance of this event.

Honor to Maharishi Valmiki: BJP's continuous efforts

This is not the first time that the BJP has taken this step keeping Maharishi Valmiki in mind. Earlier also, the party has tried to honor the contribution of Maharishi Valmiki on many occasions. In January 2024, the international airport in Ayodhya was named after Maharishi Valmiki. Similarly, the BJP government in Haryana renamed Kaithal University as Maharishi Valmiki Sanskrit University in October 2015. Along with this, the Railway Road intersection in Panipat was named Maharishi Valmiki Chowk.

BJP's strategy to woo Dalits

Maharishi Valmiki has political importance in BJP politics. Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had said during his tenure that Antyodaya and social harmony is the motto of his government. In the direction of realizing the dream of Maharishi Valmiki's Ram Rajya, the BJP is constantly working on a strategy to woo the Dalit community. Apart from Valmiki Jayanti, the BJP in Haryana has also recognized other saints and their contributions. For example, in 2022, the Khattar government announced that the official residence of the Chief Minister in Chandigarh would be named 'Sant Kabir Kutir'.

BJP's victory: Hold on Dalit and OBC vote bank

The Dalit community in Haryana has a population of about 21%, which is the second largest caste after the Jat community. In the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress had achieved great success on the basis of the Dalit-Jat equation, but in the assembly elections, the BJP broke this equation and won. By strengthening its hold among the Dalit and OBC sections, the BJP has returned to power in Haryana for the third time.

The BJP has consistently maintained its hold in non-Jatland as well as Dalit and OBC sections, and this time it has tried to give another strong message to the Dalit community by organizing the swearing-in ceremony on the day of Valmiki Jayanti. This move is part of the BJP's long-term strategy to connect Dalits strongly with itself.

Conclusion

The return of BJP to power for the third time in Haryana is not just an electoral victory, but it is also a political message. By organizing the swearing-in ceremony on the day of Valmiki Jayanti, BJP has once again proved that it is trying to connect with the Dalit community. Keeping the name of Maharishi Valmiki at the center, this strategy of BJP can prove to be politically beneficial for it in the future as well.
