Yatra on the card, politics behind the curtain: Let’s try to use#JaiShriRam in our tweets today to remind us of #84KosiParikrama.. ok?

By-sundaram chaurasia

I was all set to leave for an office at 09.00 PM as my night shift
started .before I could really put on my shirt and jeans….. I got a
call from a young and beautiful reporter who is in her thirties saying
that----
“sundaram, I am watching chennai express with my family …and tomorrow
I have to do a live on “84 kosi ki yatra “ sponsored by BJP and
broadcasted by VHP(Vishwa Hindu Parishad) and politics behind the
curtain from an location of UP Border. Would you please send me
details ?”

Its always hard to turn down a request from a beautiful girl. I am
sure you would agree?
People who are from English background its hard nut to crack for them
to know,What is “KOSH” ….in their language its better to say what the
fuck is this-“84 KOSI YATRA?”
TO know what actually is -“84 KOSI YATRA” I decided to call up my
grandfather who is priest in one of temple in jaunpur (UP) and 84
years old.
My grandfather told me over phone -
The 84-Kosi Yatra is a tradition that has been there for thousands of
years with the belief that it gives deliverance to the performer from
the cycle of 84-Lakh Yonis (the cycle of birth and death).
According to Hindu belief, the king of Ayodhya Dashrath performed the
"yagna" in the "treta period" at a place in Makhurha in Basti district
of UP which included circumnavigating the six districts in the region.

Some religious leaders believe that the right place to start the
parikrama should be Basti instead of Ayodhya.

According to some, the dates for 84-Kosi Yatra are fixed and takes
place in the month of Chaitra.
There are other parikramas (circumnavigating) which are equally famous
like Kamadgiri
I asked a next question to my grand father that what all are the
districts which would be covered in “84 KOSI KI YATRA”?
He told me - Basti ,Faizabad, Barabanki, Gonda, Ambedkarnagar, and Bahraich.

After talking to my grandfather I boarded metro and reached office
….there I caught a conversation between two anchors – a male and
female .The male anchor was all set o female anchor with his knowledge
---
Let me tell u why this “84 KOSI YATRA” is a politica move but not religious --

Why VHP is not starting 84 kosi ki yatra from BASTI? Which is a
traditional an actually place where Lord Ram’s father Dashrath
performed YAGH and started “84 kosi parikrama”?
If SP was so much secular in its credentials then why it few days
back held a meeting with VHP leaders which lasted for more than three
hours? was there anything cooking between mulayam singh yadav and VHP
leaders .after the meeting, a delegation of Hindu saints declared that
SP chief Mulayam Singh had agreed to convince the Muslim leaders,
clerics and ulemas to pave way for the construction of a grand Ram
temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya.

The move of Mulayam and Akhilesh Yadav is being called a brilliant
political action to polarize the Muslim votes in their favour or not
to let members of Muslim community think of the Congress as an
alternate when Narendra Modi is BJP’s undeclared prime ministerial
candidate. For the record, the Samajwadi Party leaders deny that.

The appointment of BJP national general secretary Amit Shah as UP
in-charge proves this point. Shah, during his first visit to the state
had said, "I have prayed that we together build a grand Ram temple in
Ayodhya as soon as possible and restore Lord Ram to his rightful
place."

Does not this sound strange that Modi takes on VHP in his home state
on the issue of razing temples but chooses to keep mum on the 84-kosi
yatra.

I just send all this detail to the reporter who had to a live on “84
kosi ki yatra “…..she did not send me even a thanks for this. I did
started working on feeds for four hours.

My night shift got finish …..i came back home and decided to follow
the yatra by VHP in UTTAR-PRADESH .I heard on televisions that the
state government has imposed Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure
Code in the six districts – Faizabad, Barabanki, Gonda, Ambedkarnagar,
Basti and Bahraich - that fall on the yatra route.
AYODHYA has been turned into a fortress….Togadiya ,Ashok singhal and
other senior VHP leaders have been arresred. The tension has been
defused. The Mulayam singh government has come out as a secular party
in the eyes of minority

1.41 pm: VHP to protest arrest of leaders
11.35 am: Digvijaya cries ‘match fixing’
11.17 am: Ashok Singhal detained in Lucknow airport
11.02 am: What VHP can’t do on the ground, they do on Twitter!
Lets try to use #JaiShriRam in our tweets today to remind us of
#84KosiParikrama.. ok?

10.30 am: More VHP leaders court arrest
10.15 am: An uneasy calm has descended on Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh
after the Samajwadi Party clamped down on the the VHP supporters
making sure that their ‘chaurasi kosi’ yatra doesn’t take off easily.

After reading till 11.00 AM I decided to take sleep. i woke up at
05.00 PM and to take a tee on road. This was really fortunate for me
that on a shop where I was having tea my channel NEWS X was tuned in.
I saw the same young reporter who was watching chennai express last
night whom I mailed all the information—was giving live on the story
in such a way as if she is master on this. This is what the television
is all about –there is one thing u have to know is Look cool speak
with confident…….

Last time when I went to NDTV website the latest news I got about VHP
YATRA is its national spokesperson has said that they will continue
with their yatra tomorrow as well.

MODISM

a perosn who believes that the glass is full. One half with water and the other half with air. how he will encounter Nitish kumar's secular PM agenda??
................................................................................................

Me and my friend Ajay ( name changed)we both are admirer of narender modi;but he is more than me.He recently got selected for Intelligence bureau (IB) and posted to Gujarat's Vadodra district and i am by a profession a small journalist who works in news channel on desk in New Delhi. i saw how people inside news channels are crazy to pick any news which is related to modi. if Modi tweets it becomes news.....if he pronounces NAMO it becomes news......one day our channel decided to take calls from public for the show Modi vs Rahul 2014?
a caller from kashmir named IRFAN called and said that "Modi could have been projected as a PM and won had he not committed Gujarat riot sin in 2002,i as a muslim will never accept him as a PM candidate."
the moment this caller hanged up we received a second call ......it was from Bengal......the caller in his Bengali English said--if today Modi is projected as a PM then it is only due to Gujarat riot.it was riot which famed him across the country.so riot is positive point for modi....
show got over .
It was 10.30 am of night shift...i was running late .... my boss gave me an assignment saying that Modi is very popular lets make a show on him. i agreed and started doing research and came across with some astonishing fact.
before i cud really reach to a conclusion and fix a line for next day show on Modi. i thought there is nothing wrong to give a call to my friend who lives in Gujarat.i called him up and asked about Gujarat .He started boasting Gujarat development like anything and said Modi is more popular in Foreign than India.
i told him over the phone that ---
"" Modi has hired Brand building American firm APCO which has taken the responsibility of PR for both Modi as well as the biennial industrial summit ‘Vibrant Gujarat’ in 2007
This glory, however, is largely a consequence of the brand-building exercise that Modi had adopted in 2007 through the help of a Washington-based Public Relations (PR) and lobbyist firm APCO worldwide. APCO, which is the second largest independent PR firm in America, took on the responsibility of taking care of PR for both Modi as well as the biennial industrial summit ‘Vibrant Gujarat’ in 2007. The firm, known for intensive lobbying, brought in investment commitment of up to Rs 20.83 lakh crore in the 2011 summit. The Gujarat government has been paying nearly Rs 15 lakh rupees a month to since 2009 in order to bring about the image makeover.
APCO has also been managing Modi’s own behaviour and projection, for which the cost has been over $25,000 per month since 2007. Curiously, APCO was chosen over 10 other firms that also included Weber Shandwick, Grey Worldwide, Twenty-Twenty and Vaishnavi Communications owned by the controversial publicist Niira Radia. The firm, which also specialises in political PR, is notorious for having dictators such as former Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha amongst its clients."" 

My friend did not pay heat to this truth and said that --you media people always cook a story to attract viewers.i am not interested in your theory. 
When i asked him about Rahul vs Modi he said Rahul stands nowhere in comparison with modi. he said Modi is most optimistic leader i have ever seen. he reminded me of Modi's speech at SRCC---
"I believe that the glass is full. One half with water and the other half with air." There is despondency all over country but I am confident we can change the situation. 
Picking up a glass of water, modi said an optimist would say the glass is half full, while a pessimist would say it is half empty. 
"I have a third point of view. For me the glass is always full -- half with water and half with air. We can turn over the situation," he said
i told him that modi's PR company not only highlights the things which are in favor of modi but tries its level best to conceal what is against modi for example company highlighted--Wikileaks cables from 2006 also reveal that key RSS functionary Ram Madhav had told the US embassy that Modi is indeed the Sangh’s choice. The same ‘confidential’ cable (VZCZCXRO7463) also has senior leader L K Advani and others expressing hope in Modi to “rejuvenate the party” and “stop its further slide into oblivion”. but concealed when modi was criticized for hos role in 2002 pogrom.

Modi is toiling hard to project himself as a PM candidate ,but Nitish kumar's uping the ante with secular PM demand has faded modi's plan.Nitish kumar said at constitution club --wo aisa PM chahte hain jo teeka bhi lagwaye aur topi bhi pahne. Narendra modi who din not bowed against the allegation of masterminding 2002 riots and managed to project himself as a PM 2014 candidate after 11 years hard work. the thing which has to be seen is that a perosn who believes that the glass is full. One half with water and the other half with air. how he will encounter Nitish kumar.

i went to meet my boss and said --sir,i have found the line for tomorrow's show on modi .
he asked me what is that
i replied--
a perosn who believes that the glass is full. One half with water and the other half with air. how he will encounter Nitish kumar's secular PM agenda??
