Don’t communalise UP polls

Hindustan Times  

On Sunday, during a public speech, Uttar Pradesh’s chief minister, Yogi Adityanath, referred to his government’s pro-poor schemes. But then, introducing a communal subtext to claims over welfare achievements, particularly the distribution of free ration, the CM said that in earlier governments, it was only those who said “Abba jaan”, an Urdu salutation for one’s father used by Muslims, who absorbed all the ration. The BJP’s explicit attempts to communalise the UP polls by mobilising Hindus, and the Opposition’s implicit hope to do so by winning over Muslims, is dangerous. The SP, Bahujan Samaj Party and the Congress are conscious that any visible attempts to woo the Muslim community as a bloc may alienate Hindus — but all these parties have had a track record of wooing the most reactionary elements among the minorities to win over their vote. Instead, the state’s political discourse should focus on questions that matter most for its citizens — of public health, livelihoods and jobs, justice, price rise, and equitable representation.
