NEW DELHI: His phone ringtone speaks of the virtues of Lord Ram and Gyandev Ahuja is a self-professed cow lover. The BJP's three-time MLA from Ramgarh in Alwar has stirred the hornet's nest by saying those killing cows should also be done to death — a statement that is now highlighting the polarised environment in poll-bound Alwar."All I have said is that if anyone kills our mother, the cow, the person will also die like that. That is Karma. But I have not advocated that people should kill them. However, the fact remains that people in Alwar are very angry and janta bhadk gayi hai. They, like me, see the cow as their mother and they are now attacking the cow-slaughters and cowsmugglers saying it is an order from their mother, the cow. Gau Mata Ka Aadesh Hai, they feel," Ahuja told ET on Monday. Ahuja claims there have nearly 150 incidents of cow slaughter and smuggling in last three months in Mewat region along the Rajasthan-Haryana border. Three persons have been killed in such incidents. "But the cow smugglers are unrelenting.They come armed with guns, petrol bombs and stones and fire on police or locals who try to stop them. There is a major conspiracy at play and is being orchestrated by the Congress in the same way as it tried to create a caste movement in Gujarat by paying off Hardik Patel, Alpesh Thakore and Jignesh Mevani. Public is angry and up in arms," Ahuja told ET. The Alwar Lok Sabha seat goes to polls probably in January though the Election Commission is still to announce a date and the Congress has already declared a candidate from the seat. A senior Congress leader, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told ET that given there are nearly two lakh Muslim votes in Alwar and the BJP is trying the polarisation card and pitching Hindus against Muslims, but the Congress is not falling into the trap.Congress state president Sachin Pilot, has attacked the state government mainly on the front of failing law and order and said on Monday that the BJP MLA was blatantly threatening of killing. "Will CM of Rajasthan follow Raj Dharm and reprimand and take action against her MLA?" Pilot asked. However, Ahuja claimed that it was Congress, which was promoting polarisation in wake of the upcoming bypoll by supporting the cow smugglers.
