Indian General elections are just a few months away and both the National Parties in India have placed their cards on the table as to how they are going to play. Rahul Gandhi and Indian National Congress are relying on his Bharat Jodo Yatra 2.0 or rather Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra (Nyay ka Haq Milne tak) whereas Modi’s BJP is relying on Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.

While Rahul Gandhi’s Nyay Yatra would begin on the January 14th from Manipur and will cover over the course of time almost 110 districts and 100 Loksabha seats. The Ram Mandir in Ayodhya will be consecrated on January the 22nd and after which it will be open for the general public.

I am so happy and can’t even imagine how the lives of the people of those 110 districts which Mr. Rahul Gandhi will cover in his Yatra transform. I am jealous! Wherever Mr. Gandhi will walk it will transform into an eight or sixteen lane highway. Wherever his knee would hurt again brand new AIIMS would be built. He will definitely be meeting tons of victims of various crimes, as soon as he would meet one, there will be a court and a police station with state of the art features built. Just like that!

The poor-unemployed people that he will meet during his journey would get employment and will start squandering money on foreign trips. As Mr. Gandhi would keep walking the area would automatically get connected by optical fibers. Mr. Gandhi would just sneeze all the way through; if Covid Virus could travel through these tiny sneeze droplets why not electricity and Giga-Bytes of data?

The list isn’t finished yet, not by any means! Mr. Gandhi would need to rest as well, and wherever he would rest a new five star hotel with Michelin star rated restaurants will be built. Since people are getting rich as he keeps walking, they will later be able to relax and enjoy the facilities provided in these hotels and restaurants. Since Mr. Gandhi does not generally walk all the way and need some mode of transport in between the districts; multiple state of the art railway stations will be built. The districts that are a little far off would have Airports built. The lives of the people living in these 110 districts is going to be completely transformed after 70 odd days. People there will have everything, connectivity by road and air, electricity, internet, employment and everything else required to live a leisurely life.

There should be no doubts in anyone’s mind, these things would definitely happen. They happened during pervious Bharat Jodo Yatra that covered fourteen states from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. I am glad that this is happening again, if only these yatras happen every year, the country would become a first world developed country in just a few years.

On the other hand, I really pity the people of Ayodhya. A beautiful city that was once blessed with violence and destruction for decades and centuries. Sadhus and Karsevaks were fired at and killed. The city that invited anti-social elements and then lived in the shadow of security forces. The city like any other city in Uttar Pradesh, enjoyed the poorest of the connectivity be it road, rail or air connectivity. Heavy load shedding and haphazard developments.

It terrifies me when I see how a Supreme Court’s order in 2019 changed the fate of a city. What they are going through is horrendous and can’t possibly be explained in words.

A humongous Ram Mandir is being built in the city, which is going to invite 10 million plus pilgrims every year. There won’t be any peace in the city, it will always be crowded, these visitors will stay their and enjoy while the locals will work. How fair is that? The city isn’t that big in the first place for an airport. Now these poor/unlucky people be connected to the rest of the country and the world. They will have to live with Airplanes making noise day and night. The railway station in Ayodhya competes with the railway stations across some of the India’s best railway stations in terms of the facilities. As if it wasn’t enough, six Vande Bharat trains have been routed to the Ayodhya Junction! there has to be a limit to cruelity.

Roads have already been broadened, 200 different development projects are undergoing as we speak, an Ayodhya redevelopment masterplan 2031 is already in place. More than Rs. 85,000 Crores are estimated to be invested in the city over the next ten years. A separate 1200 acre township is supposed to be built alongside the old city.

This isn’t even the worse part yet. This disease of creating state of the art infrastructure and promoting tourism is spreading heavily during this Hindu Nationalist rule -Statue of Unity, Central Vista redecoration etc. What if the exact same thing happens in Varanasi next? or Prayagraj? or Mathura-Vrindavan? Haridwar-Rishikesh? Kedarnath-Badrinath-Gangotri-Yamunotri? 12 Jyotirlingas? 51 Shaktipeeths? Oh my god, where will it stop?

More importantly, the country’s image of a third world country fighting with poverty is at stake. How will United Nations respond when next time Mr. Shashi Tharoor go begging for flood relief? The country will lose its aid money.

I don’t think voters of this country would find any difficulty in deciding who to vote for in coming general elections.
