Union Minister of State for Well being and MP from Agra (SC-reserved), SP Singh Baghel is BJP candidate from the identical seat as soon as once more. Baghel has been a four-term member of the Lok Sabha (three phrases as SP and as soon as as a BJP nominee). He was Rajya Sabha member as BSP nominee. Baghel spoke to Lalmani Verma. Excerpts:
Why do you suppose Agra will elect you as soon as once more?
Beneficiaries of the welfare schemes run by the (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi and (Chief Minister) Yogi Adityanath authorities are with their household (BJP). Be it beneficiaries of PM Awas Yojna, Ujjawala scheme, Kisan Samman Nidhi, Swanidhi Scheme and Mudra Yojana. Ayushman card is recreation altering. Individuals are getting free ration. The place folks used to die of starvation prior to now, nobody sleeps hungry now. This can be a golden period of regulation and order. In the course of the Parliament session too, I go to Agra nearly every day. Agra has turn into a significant centre of vacation spot weddings as a result of regulation and order is sweet right here. An environment has been developed for tourism. Taj Mahal is breaking all of the information.
So, is recognition of PM Modi and CM Adityanath continues to be the most important power for the BJP?
Sure. If the candidates usually tour their constituencies and implement the federal government’s welfare schemes and there’s no anti-incumbency… that turns into sone-pe-suhag. Little question… welfare schemes of the Central and state authorities, regulation and order scenario of the state, onerous work of occasion leaders from sales space president to nationwide president will guarantee an enormous victory for the BJP.
Amid BJP leaders’ belongings and mangasutra remarks , will Muslims vote to BJP?
Sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka viswas, sabka prayas are the phrases got here out from the “aatma” (soul) Prime Minister. Now minority and majority each need to suppose that if PM is shifting two steps for them, they need to additionally transfer 4 steps. Secondly, foundation of PM’s schemes is neither the occasion nor castes and faith. Additionally these schemes aren’t totally different for BJP-ruled states and non-BJP- dominated states.
Regardless of govt benefiting them with such scheme, why Jatav Dalits in Agra are nonetheless with BSP and Muslims with SP?
They (Dalits and Muslims) ought to take into consideration this. However one factor is that 2019 was hardest election of UP politics (as a result of alliance of SP, BSP and RLD). This SP-BSP alliance shaped authorities in 1993. This time RLD is blooming lotus. SP and BSP are separate. Between 2019 and 2024 so many new schemes have been applied.
