Indian
Media & so called “Liberal Intellectuals” are still in shocked due to
elevation of Yogi Adityanath as UP CM. Yogi has been compared to even Hitler on
Social Media by many opposition supporters. Prime time Anchors like Rajdeep
Sardesai are sharing clips of Yogi’s old speeches. Barkha Dutt says that rise
of Modi may be failure of liberal politics. Even she had problem with Swati
Singh becoming minister in Yogi’s cabinet. Everyone is busy in accusing Modi of
betraying the mandate of UP. No one is ready to give Adityanath a chance to
prove himself.
Why everyone
is behind Yogi? The same group was behind then Gujrat CM Narendra Modi. I clearly
remember that one lady anchor of NDTV was reminded by an English MP that Modi
has been acquitted by Indian Supreme Court when she was accusing Modi of inciting
Gujrat riots. Many journalists made their career out of Gujrat riots reporting.
Indian media has been pro Congress & Left form beginning. They were taken aback
by BJP’s rise in 90s. Now they have yet not accepted the fact that BJP is no 1
political party in India. When Modi became BJP’s PM candidate, most of the
media house opposed this move tooth & nail. Any supporter of Modi is called
“Bhakt” by Media and opposition. Yes, we must not blindly follow anyone. But
what is wrong in supporting something which I consider right?
The journalists
have enjoyed patronage from Congress since very long times. Now the same group
feels threatened by rise of new class of Journalists who are Modi sympathizer
or neutral. These “liberal” journalists doesn’t cover the Malda riots or Karina
issue. But they covered Akhlaq for many month. It was a national shame that Akhlaq
was killed over beef but why media is so biased. I will be called a liberal if
I care for animals (say dogs), but I will be a right wing fanatic if I talk
about cow welfare. If a Akhilesh Yadav becomes UP CM then it is the victory of
young India but a 5 term young MP Yogi Adityanath is inexperienced in becoming
CM. If Hyderabad elects a Owasi then its victory of democracy but BJP victory
in UP is loss of liberal values in India. Why Media houses didn’t show Akbaruddin
Owaisi’s hate speech on TV. Why there is double standard? I don’t agree with many
speeches of Yogi Adiytyanath. He was absolutely wrong on many points. India is
a secular country and we all have equal rights. But there should be no
appeasement politics either by political parties or media. All political
parties including BJP do polarizing politics before election. RJD, BSP, SP,
Tamil parties, TNC, Shiv Sena, Congress all do polarization on name of caste,
language or religion. Why only single out BJP? It was Congress which started the
Babri Masjid issue and BJP grabbed it.
We
must see Yogi Adityanath’s work in Gorakhpur. He has done good work in his
constituency. He is 2nd most popular BJP leader after Modi in UP. As
per some reports, more than 200 MLAs supported his name. He is leader of BJP’s
legislative party in UP and as per constitution he has every right to become
CM. Also he has not been convicted in any case. His Math employees a lot of
Muslims and many Muslims usually go to his janta darbar to get their problems
solved. Why main stream media doesn’t cover this story? Media should be unbiased.
It should show all the aspects of new UP CM. Many people argues that Modi’s
& Yogi’s rise is similar to that of Hitler and Hitler also asked for one
change to prove himself. I can say only one thing to those “get well soon”.
Comparing elected Indian leaders to Hitler is insult to Indian democracy.
