To say, the grapes are sour if asked for the opposition, will not be wrong, because if the corridors of current power are highlighted, then it will be literally 100 percent true that in 65-70 years after independence in 2014, the country has come out of the beautiful dreams of Mungeri Lal, the reality of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, a government dedicated to public participation, an inclusive government, a government of equal people, has set its feet on the ground, yet the opposition is going into the abyss in its critical attitude and is unable to bring any change. Perhaps the result is that our nation, our India, and our Indians are leaving an indelible mark on the world, as well as the developmental agenda of the government, "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas," is now becoming a reality on the ground. 

On the one hand, the opposition parties are finding themselves helpless due to the style of working of 'Bharatiya Janata Party', its determination, will-power, strong leadership and the changes taking place in the country, or rather from the role of the opposition itself are absent. The people of the country lost faith in them and they could not get 54 Lok Sabha seats to be in the opposition. We are talking about the 2014 Lok Sabha, in which the Congress won only 40 seats, whereas a party has to get 10% (54) seats in the Lok Sabha to become the official opposition party in India.

The opposition has always been accusing the BJP that it is an anti-Muslim government and promotes Hindus more on the agenda of Hindutva, but they do not remember that the foundation of the Bharatiya Janata Party is associated with this issue. That is how to get rid of the second-class treatment meted out to Hindus in India. Due to BJP always being in minority, the opposition always considered the agenda of Hindutva to be negligible and the anti-India forces took advantage of this, but as soon as the BJP government was formed, it started working on its Hindutva, then some parties again caste Started politics, but the opposition, who put cotton in their ears, does not know that the people of the country have understood that by constructing 'Shri Ram Mandir in Ayodhya', they should bring back their lost identity.

It is not in the hands of the anti-Hindu opposition. At the same time, it is also necessary to say that Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and people of all religions have been living amicably in the Bharatiya Janata Party government, and no one has any kind of trouble. That is to say that the kind of fear the opposition has been showing to Muslims and has been doing politics, that Muslims have also seen that during the tenure of BJP, the interests of Muslims have not been ignored in any plan, but the opposition Those who always considered their vote bank, today the same Muslims have started considering BJP as their political party and as a result of this, they returned with full majority in the 2019 general elections.

Going beyond all these things, under the leadership of Hon'ble Modi ji, our country has emerged as a strong and influential country on the world stage - Our Prime Minister says that - "Whatever achievements are, it is not the government's but the government's". 125 crores belong to Indians only. The common people and the welfare of the country are at the root of all our plans. This government has done such works, which generations will remember. like -

By giving international importance to Yoga, the UN declared June 21 as Yoga Day.

UN awarded 'Champion of Earth' to India.

If we talk about these above, then the great achievement of the government is that the people themselves gave up subsidies for the first time - be it gas or railways.

It will not be unreasonable to say that the opposition party is unable to play its meaningful role in the Indian democracy, because it does not have any concrete and basic issue, and if we talk about it, then the opposition is being 'leprosy'. The saying fits, because they do not have a solid issue, and the other is a lack of mutually acceptable leadership, which only exposes the irony and anomalies of the opposition. As the opposition did not have any concrete issue to hide their weaknesses, they created a slogan - 'First Modi ko Maat, Phir PM Par Baat', which reflects their failures. It can be said that today, instead of considering policies as the main issue, the opposition is emphasizing the leadership, or rather, the opposition has declared itself a weak negation by not considering policies as the main issue. The matter does not stop here, but their narrow selfishness is also becoming a hindrance to their solidarity. He has also declared himself an opportunistic politician by presenting his ideology.

If the matter has come out, then it will also go towards the government of Uttar Pradesh, and if we talk about the Uttar Pradesh government in this context, then four years of the government have been completed, during which the government has made the biggest ever 5 lakh 50 thousand 270 crore 78. With the passing of public welfare, development-oriented and all-inclusive budget of Rs. lakh from the Legislature, the state has taken a confident step toward a one trillion dollar economy. It was in the power of Yogi ji to effectively curb crime and crime with zero-tolerance policy against criminals by giving proper punishment to the criminals whose crime had become a stronghold in the governments of the opposition party. Compared to 2010, in 2020, 67.69% of dacoity cases are in robbery, 60% in murder, 25.70% in rebellion, 29.75% in road hold up, 100% in kidnapping for ransom, 41.51 in dowry death, 9.18 in rape cases There has been a reduction which could have been possible only in the present government. Be it sports, be it education, be it the case of saving a daughter, be it the passion to eliminate criminals, all this remained under the control of the BJP government, yet the opposition is criticizing Gandhiji only and only, not even this It is seen that the public has rejected it and denied its existence. And all this is the result of the dedicated government of the society, the result of the inclusive government.

What happened in Lakshadweep? 

An archipelago of 36 islands, Lakshadweep came as a blessing in disguise for India when the war with Pakistan was at its peak. Sprawling over an area of approximately 32 sq m, the isolated island has a plethora of cultural practices. Though most of its residents are Muslims, the practice of Islamism on this island is unlike any other country.

All of a sudden, the island has been reeling under the onslaught of disturbing new reforms introduced by the newly appointed administrator Praful Khoda Patel. An MLA from Gujarat and a close ally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Patel has neither been a civil servant nor an administrator for any other UT earlier. He has been appointed by the BJP-led government in a pursuit to carry out their political activities at ease.

The contentious regulations have been witnessing public outrage on a widespread scale as they are unarguably a threat to their livelihoods and cultural practices. Without people’s consultation, three new reforms have been imposed on the islanders on development authority and animal preservation by the Goonda Act — a so-called way of the BJP to prevent anti-social activities on an island that has the lowest crime rate in the country.

The island has been reeling under the onslaught of disturbing new reforms introduced by the newly appointed administrator Praful Khoda Patel. Representational image.

What came as a bolt from the blue is all these are expected to come into effect while the whole nation is neck-deep in sickness and trying to combat the curb of the raging pandemic. In conjunction with this, the new administrator is solely responsible for the surge in the number of Covid cases in a place that had little to no cases till January 2020. After the relaxation of Covid protocols announced by Patel, 7,000 cases have been reported so far, equivalent to one-tenth of the union territory’s population.

The very first regulation proposes the orderly and progressive development of the island that, in other words, means carrying out construction of buildings and running engineering or mining operations without the consent of the public. No matter what development the government proposes to do to transform the island into a better place will definitely leave a devastating effect on the sanctity and environment as the island is ecologically sensitive.

Secondly, there seems to be a remarkable change in the consumption of food as one of the reforms aims to ban beef and proposes to put offenders behind bars or impose fines. On the contrary, the sale of liquor has been given a clear nod on an island where most of the population practices Islam. This has deepened discontentment among the islanders, but the Centre seeks to enforce the laws for electoral gain and power.

In addition to these, islanders with more than two children will not be allowed to contest for Panchayat polls, which in turn seems to be an impediment for people. The most vexatious among all the laws is the so-called Goonda Act, which gives unlimited power to detain anyone without any legal notice for one year. And this has been brought in at a place where the crime rate is at its lowest in the whole country.

Widespread condemnation has been voiced all around as several leaders posted online, including Chief Minister of Kerala Pinarayi Vijayan, who said that these new laws are a cause of serious concern and put a challenge on the heritage on the island. In retaliation, the BJP said that several parties have been spreading false propaganda against the Modi government, albeit eight leaders of the saffron party have resigned against the acrimonious imposition of the reforms.

It sets the alarm bells ringing in our heads as to why the islanders were not consulted before implying these laws and what was the need of such reforms where there seems to be no sign of unlawful activities. While these are to be answered, islanders might have to prepare to bear the brunt.

Vaishnavism is one of the major forms of modern Hinduism, characterized by devotion to the god Vishnu and his incarnations. A devotee of Vishnu is called a Vaishnava. The Vaishnavite tradition is known for the loving devotion to an avatar of Vishnu, and as such was key to the spread of the Bhakti movement in South Asia in the 2nd millennium CE. For Vaishnava’s, absolute reality is manifested in Vishnu, who in turn is incarnated in Rama, Krishna, and other avatars. Through his avatars, Vishnu defends traditional righteousness in keeping with the moral law.

Vaishnavism is the worship and acceptance of Vishnu. The various sects of worshippers of Vishnu pray to him in different ways. For some, the goal of religious devotion to Vishnu is liberation from the cycle of birth and death. For others, it is health and prosperity in this life, good crops, success in business, or thriving children.

Vaishnavism comprises many sects and groups that differ in their interpretation of the relationship between the individual and God. It has four main categories of sub-schools: the medieval-era Vishishtadvaita school of Ramanuja, the Dvaita school of Madhvacharya, the Dvaitadvaita school of Nimbarkacharya, and the Pushtimarg of Vallabhacharya. The Srivaishnava sect, for example, emphasizes the doctrine of qualified non-dualism of Ramanuja, according to which, although the differentiated phenomenal world is illusory, it is nevertheless the medium through which devotees may gain access to God. Another group professes the dualism of the philosopher Madhva, the belief that God and the soul are separate entities and that the soul’s existence is dependent on God. The Pushtimarg sect maintains the pure non-dualism doctrine of the theologian Vallabhacharya, which does not declare the phenomenal world to be an illusion. The Gaudiya sect, founded by Chaitanya, teaches inconceivable duality and non-duality, the belief that the relation between God and the world is beyond the scope of human comprehension.

HDH Shashthpithadishwar Pujya Pad Goswami 108 Shree Dwarkeshlalji Maharajshree hails from the Pushtimarg tradition of Vaishnavism as the direct descendant of Jagadguru Shrimad Vallabhacharya Mahaprabhuji, the founder of Pushti Bhakti Marg and one of the five great Acharyas in Hinduism.
