Navneet Gurjar's column: Who knows when the day will come, when people will start voting by awakening the gods within them

There are many stories across India of Guru Gorakhnath and his fellow yogis. The Gorakhnath temple in Gorakhpur today had dense bushes earlier. The story goes that a Nepalese beauty invited Guru Gorakhnath for a meal. I knew that yogis only ate khichdi. He served khichdi thalis like plates of dishes. Sitting far away, Guru Gorakhnath saw a flaw in Sundari's mind. They sat meditating in the dense bushes near Gorakhpur. The beauty got tired of waiting. Cooking and serving khichdi every day... But Gorakh doesn't come. She herself became a stone among the stones while cooking khichdi, but Gorakh did not come. The beauty of this pain flowed out of the stones as a glass of hot water, where the leaves of khichdi still ripen. In Uttar Pradesh and Punjab too, the khichdi of power-beauty is cooking. Elections are going to be held here at the end of the year or at the beginning of the new year. Whether it is the Congress Party, the Samajwadi Party, the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Aam Aadmi Party, everyone has their own agenda. Everyone has laid out their own board. It remains to be seen who wins? Who chooses the beauty of power or accepts the invitation! As far as Uttar Pradesh is concerned, the case of dowry and theft has almost been settled, so there is no anti-incumbency against the Bharatiya Janata Party there. In any case, it would not be right to get any idea of these assembly elections by looking at the results of the last Lok Sabha elections. Therefore, it can be said that the current power in Uttar Pradesh seems to be overwhelming at the moment. In any case, the Samajwadi Party has not launched any such movement in Uttar Pradesh in the last four-and-a-half years, due to which the Yogi government has come on the back foot. Rather, it must be said that the Socialists and the Congress have lost many opportunities for agitations, which could have given them political benefits. The success of ending hooliganism and eliminating the strongmen is with the Yogi government and it is visible. In people's words. On their faces. As far as Punjab is concerned, the newly-formed Aam Aadmi Party government is ruling here and in many ways it is going well. Like Uttar Pradesh, in Punjab too, the ruling party seems to have the upper hand. What will happen and what is going to happen by the time the elections come, only the future will tell. Nothing can be said for sure from now on, because the election and election atmosphere is actually like Babu Devkinandan Khatri's work Chandrakanta and Chandrakanta progeny. Now if we talk about Chandrakanta, then the cruel lion will also come in the discussion and many Aiyars will also come in the discussion. Now, elections are not such a way that they come to awaken the gods! To the gods who have fallen asleep within the people. Who knows when the day will come when people will awaken their inner gods and start voting. Pick the good ones and beat the ones that aren't good! It is not a matter of a political party, it is a matter of an individual. Whatever the party is, only those candidates who are right should be elected. Punjab, in fact, votes on emotional issues. It is an emotion-driven state. If anyone has suffered the most from Partition, it is Punjab. Remembering those days, the whole of Punjab shudders. There is a shiver. This is the same Punjab which is tired of narrating stories of its woes. But it doesn't seem to end before the age. This is the same Punjab that has seen the corpses. People have seen corpses. The shadow between skirmishes, fights and gunfire was akin to the history of the darkest times. Day or night, the wind howled as if it were sitting in the face of history and crying. Outside, tall trees were growing like sorrows. These trees have not yet fallen. Don't fall. They are alive somewhere. In a corner of my mind. That is why this emotional and emotionally charged state should be viewed with great understanding and seriousness. Political parties while seeking votes from the people and when voting for the people. Only then will justice be done to Punjab. Everyone has laid out their own chessboard for the elections... In UP and Punjab, the power and beauty is cooking. Elections are going to be held here at the end of the year or at the beginning of the new year. Whether it is the Congress, the Samajwadi Party, the BJP, the Aam Aadmi Party, everyone has their own agenda. Everyone has laid out their own board.
