Ajit also told that Pradhan’s husband had threatened to kill him some time ago and also complained to the police in this regard. This statement has created a stir in the political corridors, as the incident seems to be directly related to political rivalry. According to the BJP leader, the attack may be the result of his political attitude and activism.
The site and police action
The attack took place when Ajit Saxena was alone and surrounded the way. The police immediately started investigation after receiving information about the incident. Police officer of Ujhani Kotwali said that investigation is being done at all possible points to identify the attackers. He also told that there was an atmosphere of tension in the village in the panchayat elections, and this incident can be seen in the same context.
Police also informed that action will be taken after the complaint of Ajit Saxena and if the charges are found to be true, strict action will be taken against the culprits. Doctors at the Ujhani Community Health Center said that Ajit Saxena has been treated and his condition is stable, although he has been sent to the district hospital for further treatment.
Is this the result of political duality?
After the incident, the question arises whether this attack is the result of any political rivalry. Ajit Saxena is an active BJP worker and his political situation in the village is quite strong. He is identified as an influential leader among the people of the village. These types of attacks are usually associated with political rivalry and personal rivalry, especially when the attackers are identified as close relatives of prominent leaders of the village.
In the last few months, there was a strict competition regarding panchayat elections in Nanakheda village. In this electoral atmosphere, tension was increased between many leaders, and such incidents were feared. BJP leader Ajit Saxena also mentioned this stressful atmosphere and claimed that he was threatened, but no concrete steps were taken by the police at that time.
BJP and opposition response
BJP leaders strongly condemned this attack and alleged that some people of opposition parties are promoting this type of violence. The BJP district president said that the attack is condemnable and the party will fully support the police to punish its culprits. He also said that this attack could be the result of political vengeance, especially when Ajit Saxena placed the party firmly in the village.
Although the opposition parties have been silent on the attack, some local leaders believe that the incident may be the result of increasing political stress during the panchayat elections. The inactivity of the local administration also raises a big question in the case, as no concrete steps were taken despite the attackers threatened in advance.
Can such attacks be stopped in future?
This incident has also raised the question whether such attacks can be stopped among political opponents in the future? Especially when political rivalry in villages is so intense. Local administration and police will have to work actively in such cases so that such attacks do not occur and help in maintaining peace in the villages.
This attack of Ajit Saxena will not only affect his personal life, but it is also raising new questions in the field of politics. Was it just a personal rivalry, or is there a political conspiracy behind it? This question has now become the main point of police investigation.
