Paswan realizes he made a mistake by aligning with BJP
by Guest Sun May 04, 2014 7:07 pm
“If a son errs, give him a slap or two but don’t throw him out of the house,” pleads Ramvilas Paswan at a rally. Paswan knows he is fighting with his back to the wall but his pleas don’t seem to cut much ice. Mohammed Shahid Raza, a long-time Paswan loyalist, says, “There was a time when this same ground would be filled to capacity with people to hear Paswanji. Today, there are more vehicles than people.” Indeed, there are more schoolchildren eyeing his helicopter and discussing its finer points than people listening to his dispirited pitch.
Mushtaq Ahmed, another man in the crowd, does agree though that Paswan is easily the best of the three big candidates from Hajipur LS constituency. “We were fine with his alliance with BJP in the past, but this time he’s decided to break bread with Narendra Modi,” he says. “What my mouth speaks and my heart says is contrary to what my mind thinks,” he goes on, a little cryptically.
They expect 70-90 per cent of the minority votes to swing away from the LJP in Hajipur, where 50 per cent of the voters are from the Muslim and the Yadav communities. While the Muslims are upset with Paswan’s alliance with Modi, the Yadavs are upset with him for breaking up with Laloo Yadav. Still, Paswan puts up a brave front. His body language suggests he is aware of a miscalculation on his part. But he maintains that although a section of the Muslims and the Yadavs are angry with him, the majority will finally come around.
Contrary to the popular perception, an anti-Modi wave seems to be sweeping these parts of the state. The people have all heard about the loaded statements and hate speeches made by the Pravin Togadias and Giriraj Singhs. “If Modi did not have time to oversee what was happening in his own backyard, what is the guarantee he will have time to see what is happening in the rest of the country?” asks a man after some prodding.
