Is Kavitha Kalwakuntla copying Arvind Kejriwal's strategies?
By: Tupaki Desk | 26 Feb 2021 3:18 AM GMT
Is the ruling TRS taking a leaf out of Aravind Kejriwal's election text book? Is the TRS trying to project itself as a soft Hindutwa party? Is it planning to blunt the sharp and strong Hindutwa of the BJP through a new strategy?
It appears so. Ever since the fiasco of KCR's nasty comment âHindu Gallu Bondu Galluâ during the 2019 election, the BJP has gone on a Hindutwa offensive and has highlighted the communal alliance of the TRS with the MIM. Even in the GHMC elections, the BJP has taken on the TRS on this issue. The BJP showed the TRS as a party that panders to the communal politics of the MIM. This has helped the BJP very well in the GHMC elections. Now, the TRS wants to shed this image and project itself as a pro-Hindu party without annoying the MIM.
Hence, of late, the TRS leaders too are on a temple-hopping mission. KCR's daughter and MLC Kalwakuntla Kavitha has often been visiting the Bhagyalakshmi temple near Charminar. The BJP has transformed this temple into a symbol of Hindu assertion. Kavitha visited the temple twice in recent times. Now the latest is that she is planning to perform a 41-day recital of Hanuman Chalisa in the famous Kondagattu temple. Not just that, this Hanuman Chalisa recital would be performed across the state. This strategy is very much like Aravind Kejriwal's recital of Hanuman Chalisa during the Delhi assembly elections. He said if the BJP is Ram Bhakt, then he is Hanuman Bhakt. So, is Kavita's Hanuman Bhakti inspired by Aam Admi Party?
