Banaskantha Loksabha 2019

The final exercise for the allocation of Loksabha tickets in Banaskantha is underway.ongoing arguments with both the demands of tickets in the name of casteism and opposition to casteism.

There are approximately 17 to 18 lakh voters, mainly Chaudhari Patel and Thakor community. Although Chaudhary is writing a surname in addition to Patel, even in Thakore society, it can make a difference in the number of castes based on the electoral rolls those write parallel surnames to other communities like Chaudhary.That's why every party and candidate dump the numbers of caste in their favor.which is far away from reality. 

On the other hand, every caste is also fascinated by the beliefs or internal attachments of candidate. Apart from the beliefs of the castes, even though the groups of 100-200 people have been formed in the name of caste by candidates,such a activities only pressurise political parties in every election.This is also the case at present time.

The current MP and Union mining minister Haribhai Chaudhary has won four times by contesting the elections in the BJP, while reviewing the political Fever running in Banaskantha. Internally, they have the impression of non-profligacy. No strong reason for internal opposition. To give priority to the people of Chaudhari community in small and big works, and not to take interest in other small and big personal problems of other communities, they have lost intimacy with the majority of the voters. They did not do any such big job for the district. That is to say that the district's agricultural or industrial progress can be made. They have no issue in the election campaign, except to inform that day-to-day development works during their tenure.

In last 20 years, the tickets for MPs have been allotted only to Haribhai, So other contestants of the district BJP unhappy. In which Shankarbhai Chaudhary (former Health Minister) is considered to be the main contender. Besides,Haribhai has maintained contact along with other BJP-Congress leaders of the district. Holds confidence for his victory.

In the other claimants of BJP, Shankarbhai Chaudhari, despite being from Patan district as an outsider, took possession of Banas Dairy and Banaskantha District Central Cooperative Bank and raised strong hold of the district cooperative structure.The number of which is much larger. Also, the staff of these organizations, as a salaried employee, is not directly involved in the management of Shankarbhai's control.He do not have any problem due to Self confidence. Shankarbhai has not been able to establish intimate relationships with a senior leader of BJP or Congress in district. It's his weak aspect. At the last assembly of the Gujarat, he was seen aggressive till he became from State minister to Chief Minister, while the internal disputes of parties defeated him in the previous assembly. at that time he did not work with the strong network of dairies or bank. On the other hand, there are huge opportunities for jobs and contracts in the dairy and bank, but people of other castes do not speak openly to Shankarbhai,90% of the staff,except technical staff in the dairy and bank, have to take only Chaudhari caste, the strict and aggressive casteism is separating him into the general voters.

Among other claimants, District BJP president and former state minister Keshaji Chauhan and BJP MP from Patan, Liladhar Vaghela, is demanding tickets for Thakor Samaj. But due to both these leaders, the Thakor community has not got any big advantage or could not raise their issues. They have not been able to make even minor small works to Thakor community. That's an impression. Because of this, Alpesh Thakor inspired Thakore Senna dominates in the eyes of Banaskantha.

In Congress, in the last election, Congress had given tickets to the Chaudhary community named Joytabhai Patel,he lost badly. Apart from that, in the last 25 years, the Congress has not given tickets to the Chaudhri or Thakore castes. Other side Congress is like reign of Gadhvi family After the death of late BK Gadhvi,his son Mukesh Gadhvi and Mukesh Gadhvi died after given ticket to his wife Krishnaben Gadhvi. J.V. Shah also won from the Janata Dal. The trend is going on.This time District Congress President Dinesh Gadhvi in ​​the race. Apart from this, other claimants, former MLA Govabhai Rabari and the new Congressman Rajubhai Joshi recently made upside-downs, stigma is a major obstacle in his way. While Govabhai Rabari lost from Deesa in the last assembly elections, on the other hand, his relative Mavji Desai was the BJP candidate from Dhanera seat. The coalition, which has reduced its credibility in the Congress, is not a big head that is currently connected with the politics of the district. Due to this, another cooperative leader of the district,Parthibhai Bhatol (former chairman, Banas Dairy), is trying for a ticket from sevadal. While the same chairman of the service, Laljibhai Desai is also making a claim for the Banaskantha ticket. Apart from this,VAV MLA Geniben Thakor is also a contender. Congress has no network of workers in the district. While the six MLA of Congress in the same district, the district is shown congressi.

Overall, from the last several years BJP has an anti-incumbency environment in Banaskantha due to the power of one and the same MP. But the Congress does not have the basic network to lead the movement convert into votebank. On the other hand, besides BJP MP Haribhai, Shankarbhai and Parbatbhai are the only claimants of the Chaudhari community, but the name of the Parthibhai Bhatol is being discussed in the BJP.Name of Parthibhai Bhatol has been discusses as BJP-Congress in both groups. Due to political motivation,he has not given any biodata to anyone, nor is there a general member of any party.

If there is no unexpected change from the Congress, the BJP appears to be heavier than the current claimants. Congress seems to be losing,lake of network of taking its voters to the booth.

Voters:

Of the total 22 lakh 17 thousand voters in Banaskantha district, Vadagam and Kankrej constituencies fall under the Patan Lok Sabha, 17 to 18 lakh voters are from Banaskantha Lok Sabha constituency.

The average number of different caste figures released by different claimants is as follows.

Thakor is about 3 lakh 25 thousand.

Chaudhary is about 2 lakh 75 thousand.

Rabari  is about one lakh

Brahmin is about 75 to 80 thousand.
