Hathras Stampede / Only compensation, but silence on action… Why are political parties silent on Bhole Baba?

Hathras Stampede: Rahul Gandhi visited Hathras first and then Aligarh today. The Congress leader met the families of those killed in this incident. He said that it is sad, many families have suffered. Many people have died, there is a lack of administration and mistakes have been made. Rahul Gandhi has also appealed to UP CM Yogi Adityanath. He said that the compensation should be right. I request the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh to give compensation generously. But Rahul Gandhi did not say a word against Narayan Hari Sarkar. Why was he not arrested! Why is the UP government protecting him! Congress leader Rahul Gandhi remained silent.

121 people have died in the stampede in Hathras. No action has been taken against Bhole Baba alias Narayan Hari Sakar in whose satsang people were killed. The surprising thing is that there is unity between the ruling party and the opposition in this matter. Meaning both the parties have become one. Neither BJP, nor BSP nor Samajwadi Party has demanded action against Baba. What is it that all the political parties are united on this issue. The reason behind this is vote bank politics. Everyone is worried about Dalit voters getting angry. That is why Samajwadi Party is blaming BJP government in this matter. Whereas BJP is highlighting the relationship between Akhilesh Yadav and Baba.

11 percent voters of Dalit Jatav community in UP

When Baba alias Narayan Hari Sakar was in UP Police, his name was Surajpal Singh. Baba, who lives in Kasganj district, belongs to Dalit Jatav community. There are 11 percent voters of this caste in UP. Most of the people who believe in Baba are from backward and Dalit society. Lakhs of people of nine districts of western UP are his supporters. They keep going to his satsang. Every month on the first Tuesday, his satsang is held at some place or the other. Thousands of people come in it. Baba has no special relationship with any political party.

Publicly, Akhilesh Yadav had attended Baba's satsang in Etawah last year. Then he had described Narayan Hari Sakar as a great saint. Akhilesh Yadav has held the UP government responsible for the Hathras incident. In Lucknow, he said that Baba's satsangs keep happening. No such incident has ever happened. All this has happened because of the government and the administration. BSP President Mayawati is also silent on this issue. Azad Samaj Party MP Chandrashekhar Ravan has demanded proper compensation for the people.

Mayawati-Chandrashekhar's stand is the same in Baba's case

Mayawati and Chandrashekhar both have a 36-year relationship. But in Baba's case, both of their stands are the same. Like Mayawati and Chandrashekhar, Baba is also from the Jatav community. Even after so many people lost their lives in Hathras, the victim's family does not consider Baba guilty. Due to Baba's strong hold in the Dalit community, all political parties are in no mood to move beyond the politics of compensation.
