In the name of Modi, the ‘Vikasa Bharat Sankalpa Yatra’ Rath Yatra program has been organized across the country to promote the programs of the Centre’s projects. An incident took place in a village in Maharashtra where a young man questioned this project Rath Yatra and stopped it.
Rajvaibhav Soba Ramachandra, an engineering graduate from a village in Kolhapur district, has stopped the ‘Vikasa Bharat Sankalpa Yatra’. The slogan ‘Modi Guarantee Schemes’ was used in the Sankalpa Yatra and it was questioned that it was against the Constitution.
The incident took place on December 13. Ramachandra, a 30-year-old engineering graduate working in a non-governmental organization, questioned the young man when he was coming for Sankalpa Yatra in Shiroli village, his native village of Radhangari taluk of Kolhapur district.
The video questioned by the young man has gone viral in the villages of different parts of Maharashtra and many people inspired by him have blocked the Vikas Bharat Rath Yatra vehicle in their villages. He alleged that the ruling party BJP is wasting public money given the Lok Sabha elections.
“I am aware of the difference between political parties and the central government and constitutional values. I noticed something and questioned him. First of all, why is the government doing so much publicity when it is doing its job? Ramchandra questioned why Modi is declaring the guarantees of government programs as guarantees.
“Officials involved in the campaign told us that this is a government program. My simple question is, why public money is being spent on a large scale to campaign for a particular ruling party? Is Modi bigger than India? A national emblem is used on behalf of an individual and a party. How is this allowed? Even the flag of India has been changed like the BJP flag in the Rath Yatra,” he expressed outrage
The local BJP leaders, angry at Modi’s name being questioned, threatened Ramachandra with a police complaint. But they are not ready for this. Ramachandra said that he told the BJP workers to file a police complaint with necessary documents.
Inspired by Ramachandra, many youths protested in 60 different districts of Maharashtra.
Ramachandra appealed to the public through social media to carry out the protest peacefully and not to cause any disturbance or harm for any reason
