Union minister Uma Bharati , who is among BJP’s key faces in Uttar Pradesh , tellsin a detailed interview that through his actions against black money, the Prime Minister is actually implementing a Marxist agenda. She calls him a yogi-turned-mahanayak (saint-superhero). Excerpts:I am born in a village which is half in UP and half in MP. So I don’t discriminate between UP and MP (Bharati was Chief Minister of MP). My favourite state is, however, Uttarakhand. Given a choice, I would have liked to be born in Uttarakhand.That is not my subject. At national level this is decision for Amit Shah.And for Maurya sahib in the state. I have no interest to talk on this issue.Mujhe Ganga ke alawa Kuchcha nahin soojhta. (I cannot think beyond Ganga). Ganga should be ‘Aviral’ (uhindered in flow) and ‘Nirmal’ (clean). Except this, I have no other ambition.Well, there has been a brief pause. But there is also a big change. Earlier, we had the National Mission for Clean Ganga Society… now it’s been converted to an Authority. It had limited powers as a society…but now it has enough powers.Yes. Section 5 gives us unlimited powers.People are not asking for an explanation on Ganga at all.We don’t consider Ganga as a political agenda. I have been working on Ganga even before becoming a minister. So, Ganga is not the issue in the coming UP assembly polls. There would be only two issues- crime and corruption.I would like to make a request to media persons also. You people ask a question and then blame us for making it an issue. I know your next question will be on ‘Ram Mandir'. If you ask me whether there should be a Ram temple (in Ayodhya), I won’t say No. I will say Yes. You will make it headlines. It is you who is asking about it. We have to respond. Please don’t ask this question… For us, these can never be issues. This is subject our faith, aastha. How can it become a political issue.This is because all parties have made it an issue. If you make Babri Masjid a political issue, Ram temple will automatically become a political issue. Phir to aap sab ko mana keejiye (Then you please tell others to also keep quiet).Voters want a clean government. Ram has followers across the world. Why are we confining this issue to a state? Although Ayodhya is in UP, the sentiment for it is universal.Arrey woh (museum) to banayenge na (That we’ll have to build). Now you can’t say we should stop working two years before this government’s term ends.BSP chief Mayawati wants to leave it to the on Muslim community. You should keep in mind that the government has not said anything on its own. Supreme Court sought its view. And so, the government gave its view. I agree with the Prime Minister. Yeh chintak varga ka vishaya hai.. unhe vichaar karna hai (This is an issue for the thinking class to reflect on). Issues like these should be left for the social platform and the less the political statements, the better it is.The way crime and corruption mix in UP is unparalleled. These parties (SP and BSP) have no ideology. They rely on vote banks. If Congress was the first to use criminals for elections, these parties gave tickets to criminals.Why has this happened just four months before the elections. This should have happened in the first six months after he formed the government. Main Akhilesh ko bilkul bari nahin karungi - na to crime se na corruption se. (I will not exonerate Akhilesh- either from crime or corruption). He suddenly realised he is going to sink as everybody is getting old. So, he’s trying to save himself.This is the first time that we have got a clear majority and soon after we launched the attack on black money.Ye Marxwadiyon ka agenda hai jo PM laagu kar rahe hain. Jo kabhi Lohia ne kaha, kabhi Kanshi Ram ne kaha. Balki sahi mein, Marx ne jo kaha, Pradhan Mantri wahi laagu kar rahe hain.(This is actually Marx’s agenda, what later Lohia said and then Kanshi Ram. The truth is the Prime Minister is executing what Marx always advocated).Look, he (Marx) always said there should be samaanta (equality). There should be no disparity. If a person has a house of 12 rooms and elsewhere there’s a single room where 12 people are living, then such disparity is unacceptable.And that’s exactly what the Prime Minister is saying. – reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. But it shouldn’t be done in a way that people are pulled out from those 12 rooms and the place occupied forcefully. It can achieved by opening Jan Dhan accounts, MUDRA yojana and bringing accounting for black money. Main to maanti hun ki puri duniya ke vampanthiyon ko Modiji ka abhinandan karna chahiye (I think Left groups across the world should compliment Modiji).Market is a reality and you can’t avoid it. But you can ensure one thing that the market doesn’t only benefit 15 per cent society. The remaining 85 per cent should also gain.He has brought three changes. He has made development an agenda in Indian politics. He used high technology for the benefit of the poor. And third, as a person Mahanayak hai Modiji. Balki main to ye kahungi ki ek yogi hai jo mahanayak ke rup mein badal gaya hai. Bharat ko is samay isi vyakti ki zaroorat thi (Modi is a superhero. I will, in fact, say he is a saint who has become a superhero. At this point, India needed someone like him).
