Congress’ promise of courting locations for youth in Gujarat and BJP’s love jihad twist are each equally laughable

Six cities in Gujarat – Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Vadodara, Jamnagar and Bhavnagar are going for civic physique elections on February 21. The Congress get together, in a bizarre manifesto launched for the Vadodara Municipal Corporation polls, has promised to arrange “dating destinations with coffee shops” throughout the town, in order that “youth, students, corporates” can “unwind and relax”. This promise seemingly comes contemplating the truth that in giant joint households of Gujarat, discovering non-public house may not be potential for a lot of. The Grand Old Party has due to this fact promised to arrange cafes, get together halls and different floor services for youth and ladies to carry gatherings and “kitty parties”.One may need thought that Congress, after going through successive ballot routs, would provide you with a presentable manifesto for the Gujarat civic polls. However, right here too, the get together has determined to make a joke out of itself. Out of all that which municipal companies can work for, a Congress-controlled civic physique, we at the moment are to consider, will work for {couples} and youths and make out there non-public areas for them. Is this what civic our bodies are alleged to do?Vadodara Congress President Prashant Patel who launched the manifesto, mentioned, “The idea behind the promise is to give the weaker section of the society the space to unwind and relax. Those who can afford to go to cafes in the city have their options but what about those youth or persons from the underprivileged section?”If the Congress’ manifesto wasn’t already sufficiently laughable; the ruling BJP has provide you with an much more ludicrous counter to the Grand Old Party’s “dating destination” promise. Saying that Congress has by no means related itself with ‘Indian values’ and that the get together’s promise of ‘dating destinations’ will promote ‘Love Jihad’, Vadodara BJP President Vijay Shah remarked that courting is said to “physical attraction and there is no emotional attraction in dating” and added that the Congress’ manifesto will mislead the youth.BJP’s General Secretary of Vadodara unit, Sunil Solanki, in the meantime requested, “Is dating a part of our culture? The Congress has no respect for the values of the Indian society.”How cafes and low outlets would find yourself selling love jihad shouldn’t be identified, and neither has Gujarat BJP put within the effort to elucidate the identical. Going by their statements, the Vadodara unit of the get together believes that courting is a phenomenon seen solely between people of two completely different spiritual backgrounds. If that’s not hilarious, we don’t know what’s.The Congress, maybe owing to the truth that it has been out of energy for thus lengthy, has forgotten what these in energy must do – which is why it’s planning to provide you with “dating destinations” for Vadodara’s youth. The BJP, in the meantime, must cease enjoying the “Indian culture” card on the drop of a hat to be taken severely by the nation’s youth.
