Campaigning in Mathura

On Saturday, I happened to be one of the volunteers who got to travel in the CONG - RLD UP Election Campaign for Assembly Polls. The young volunteers associated with the RLD “Campaign 2012” have the opportunity to visit the rural countryside during the Campaign. It is a humbling and also an inspiring opportunity. Through the campaign, this NextGen leader is also connecting with young people on social networks like Facebook, reading & replying mails and interacting on the net to support RLD. Inviting young people like me to contribute to the campaign through this online tool of expression shows an awareness of the new ways political organizations can use to connect to the savvy youth.

The demand for a ‘change’ can be seen when you converse with young people across this Hindi Heart-land. They hope for a political system based on good governance and transparent authority. One such call for ‘change’ is coming from the young leader of Rashtriya Lok Dal, MP Jayant Chaudhary, who has decided to contest the assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh to pick up the battle from Lucknow. In his addresses on the day, he expressed that it is time for a major shift and that people cutting across ages, gender, caste and religious identity want a clean government in Uttar Pradesh that focuses on the substantive development oriented issues. He said he has “jumped in to contest these elections only to contribute his energy and passion to the process of development of Uttar Pradesh”.

The young MP is visiting villages in every nook & corner and drumming up support for the Party and the Candidates of the coalition. He begins his speeches with the traditional “Ram-Ram Sahab” and winds up by asking the voters to bring back the glory and an ethical politics to the State that has given direction to the nation on numerous occasions. On the Campaign journey, one can see him appealing to constituents through a mix of persuasive arguments and sometimes, emotional appeals. He recalls his grandfather Chaudhary Charan Singh’s way of administration and the works done by him for the welfare of farmers and labourers. The Star Campaigner gave a sound reasoning that while the nation’s parliament has great powers, the State Governments have a major role in the federal Structure of the Indian political system in delivering policy and implementing even central laws on subjects critical to everyday life in the villages and towns.

On the Campaign trail, he is inviting the youth to become agents for change and the old to express the confidence they have long had in the party. He told one gathering in a village, 20 kms from Mathura city “Uttar Pradesh needs a new energy, new vision and a new leadership that can have a transformational impact. The arrogance of the BSP government has enraged the people. The present government failed to fulfill promises; instead it institutionalised corruption from police stations to tehsils resulting in politicization of the State machinery and an unjustifiable state of law and order. The schemes like MNREGA, NRHM Scheme and other welfare schemes are nowhere but on paper and now we cannot afford to sit silent. From Saharanpur to Jhansi, there is no employment for our youth. The government should work for us, not oppress us. A lot of work needs to be done and, we cannot turn back. We have to educate so many children, who are the hope & future of this nation; we have to care for our farmers and the labourers who toil”.

Throughout my informal interactions with young and old people across this town, the young people were convinced that he can bring Uttar Pradesh on track. They have a lot of hopes and expectations from him. Some villagers said that this boy has energy like his grandfather. They see his grandfather’s integrity, compassion and intelligence reflected in this young leader.

As we were moving from one village to another in Uttar Pradesh, my belief gets stronger that Rural India needs a more focused approach. That each one of us has an obligation to work towards creating the society as it should be with equal rights and opportunities. The UP 2012 election could be one of the defining moments for our country. As my young friends from Uttar Pradesh are looking to leave their mark on Electoral Day, I am also hoping that Uttar Pradesh becomes a role model in terms of turnaround to a path of progress and sustainable development. Jai Hind! Jai Bharat!
