The NRC issue of Assam though have been reverberated in the Rajya Sabha which did’nt allowed even the home minister to speak after the BJP supremo Amit Shah, due to the opposition parties’, including the vociferous Mamata didi’s strongest criticism for sidelining 40 lakh people in Assam from the list of National Register of Citizens, majority of them muslims of Bangladeshi origins, the non Congress led saffron rivalled parties in and outside parliament are actually making the BJP led NDA’s chances of returning to power in 2019 more easier and convenient say political analysts.

The Bhartiya Janata Party is lucky and may be its well caliberated or orchestrated move to implement and execute the NRC right few months before the national elections thus enabling the non BJP opposition to raise the controvertial issue of sidelining 40 lakh Bangladeshi Muslims by not including their names in the National Register of Citizens due to one reason or the other.

Despite this matter , the unfortunate incidents of mob lynchings under the guise of cow vigilantism in various parts of the country have added fuel to fire to the increasing trend of hatred and communal animosity in various parts of the country unambigously helping the right wingers to propagate their ideology thus riding on the passionate and emotionally surcharged factor of majoritarianism.

Simply speaking, the Bengal chief minister Mamata Didi has actually felled into the trap of BJP’s issue of exclusion of majority of Bangladeshi muslims n others from NRC and mob lynchings, as the more she will shout against the BJP on the excluded Bangladeshi muslims issue n lynchings and assure them of patronising the discarded citizens in Bengal, not only will the Saffron Party be beneffited politically in 2019 through a mass hindu reorientation and polarisaion but will also strengthen itself in West Bengal and other states , especally in Rajasthan, MP and Chattisgarh where anti incumbency factor is strongly at work, likely to go against it .

The issue of Bangladeshi muslim migrants have been the core issue of the Bhartiya Janata Party since long and had been importantly included in its central as well as every states’ election menifesto alongwith the Ram Mandir issue and that of uniform civil code, including the Kashmir issue with emphasis on abrogation of article 370.

These issues have been helping the saffron party arrive to power at the centre n states despite the fact that it could not construct the Ram Temple at Ayodhya and thus played with the sentiments of billions of the people worldwide. The issue now got trapped in the court. Similarly it failed in the context of abrogation of Article 370 in Kashmir etc as its entirely and absolutely not possible.

After the saffron party assumed power at the centre and rode on the power saddle in over 20 states of the country individually as well as on the support of its Allies, today, it’s more or less in a defensive position than offensive as it used to be a year ago.

The party’s consistent defeats in the byelections of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan Maharashtra, Bihar etc and the increasing attack of the non BJP opposition blaming the once highly charismatic PM Narendra Modi as the PM with rhetorics having been not up to the mark on employment generation front, bringing back black money from foreign banks, on inflation, eroding agrarian sector with mass farmers’ suicides on the rise, gailing to improve the lot of the poor, encouraging crony capitalism and being in foreign lands most of the time at the expense of public exchequer etc the BJP led NDA government seems to be more on the back foot politically and administratively losing its popularity graph slowly n steadily than on an ascending order.

The anti incumbency factor likely to affect it in three states having lost its credibility amongst the dalits, minorities and the backwards communities is also a matter of immense concern for the saffron party sa6 political analysts.

Moreover, the way, seventeen political parties of the country and states opposed to the BJP and NDA are trying to unite credibly before 2019 the BJP n NDA has a definite reason to worry. In the face of all these mounting challenges the BJP has a great task ahead to stage a come back in 2019 and its in a need for an issue that may overshadow all its shortcomings and demerits and I think by raising the issue of the 40 lakh excluded Bangladeshi Muslims from the Assam NRC by Mamta Bannerjee and her o0position colleagues, though it may be necessary for them, has actually accorded the sinking NDA ship a new lease of life for wider and large scale polarisation in the ensuing general elections.

Today, about 80% of the people of the majority community, may be even more are deadly against the Bangladeshi muslim and Rohingya migrants as the general perception about these migrants is that these outsiders are not only involved in various kinds of illegal and criminal activities including working for terror outfits but are also eating the larger share of the indians by being in jobs, businesses and other works.

Allowing them to stay in a country like india where lacs and lacs of youth are already unemployed is beyond anybody’s expectation and consideration.

It is usually believed that even in the capital city of Delhi there are about ten lakh Bangladeshi muslims living in various slum clusters having proper voter and adhar cards etc.

Whether the BJP led NDA government at the centre and in states would be ever able to identify and extern these illegal migrants out of the country remains to be seen but one thing is for sure that this issue will for sure polarise the communities viz majority and minority during the 2019 elections as Bangladeshi migrants and Rafale are going to be the core issues ( of the entire non BJP opposition parties ) combined with other defficiencies of the ruling party at the centre and the BJP ruled states of the country.

The ruling party on the other hand would also raise this pivotal issue highlighting their muslim appeasement and pseudo secularism gesture thus emphasising as to how setious they ate to throw the illegal migrants out of the country but the Congress, TMC n others are not allowing them to do so.

Meanwhile the controvertial BJP leader Kailash Vijay Vargeeya has issued a controvertial communal statement as reported in Economic Times assuring the hindus and the non muslim voters and those excluded from the NRC that the government will fully take care of their intrests, whatsoever, raising another storm in the political scenerio of the country.
