Waqf Bill: The Waqf Bill has finally been passed by both houses of Parliament. After the bill is passed, new political equations are being formed in the NDA. All political parties believe that the passage of this bill, at a time when the Modi government has been deprived of a majority alone in the House and is dependent on its allies for the majority, coalition is a significant change in the dynamics of politics.
The reason for this is that the passage of the Bill has ended the lead of the traditional alliance on the political sensitivity of allies related to the issues related to minority communities. The BJP allies, especially TDP, JDU and LJP (Ram Vilas), were the same colleagues who forced the Vajpayee government to be limited to a common minimum program, abandoning the BJP’s original ideological issues, citing their sensitivity to Muslim emotions.
Why is the passage of the Waqf Bill important?
Therefore, the political importance of advancing the Waqf Bill (this subject is religious, like Article 370, UCC and Triple divorce) through the alliance by the Modi government, is considered to be more important than passing the Bills that eliminate Article 370 and triple divorce by the second Modi government.
In the last Lok Sabha, the BJP used its overwhelming majority to effectively neutralize the opposition, bargaining and blackmailing capacity of its then allies and neutral parties. For some people, it shows how the dynamics of coalition politics and the bond of power are moving towards ‘majority sensitivity’ as a new electoral axis.
Many leaders believe that three factors are responsible for the successful passage of the Waqf Bill. First, the issue has tarnished the opponents’ expectations that NDA’s ally can put the third Modi government in danger due to ideological differences.
Secondly, with the passage of the Waqf Bill, the government would like to pursue its pending ideological agenda – Uniform Civil Code according to its political facility. Third, the increasing confidence of the coalition allows the government to act in a more ambitious manner on its economic and administrative reform agenda, making all the collaborates more generous on appropriate terms.
NDA collaborative limited
The background of this alliance has put a lot at stake for both parties in the Bihar assembly elections to be held later this year. Creating political and coalition for the BJP and the Center and giving political wind to the opposition. In the political sports played in Parliament before the Waqf Bill was passed, the opposition saw how the Modi government’s power game has limited NDA allies under the purview of their alliance.
Then LJP, TDP withdrew support
The LJP, who withdrew support from the Vajpayee government on the issue of Gujarat riots due to its sensitivity towards Muslim voters of Bihar, has now supported the Waqf Bill before the Bihar elections. TDP has done this exactly this. The TDP had strongly opposed it due to its ‘minority sensitivity’ during the Gujarat issue (despite supporting the Vajpayee government) and later withdrawn support from the first Modi government on a special status issue for Andhra Pradesh. However, it was later included in the BJP -led camp.
JDU takes the biggest risk before Bihar elections
The JDU does not surprise many, despite the risk of annoying Muslims before the Bihar elections. The move is being seen as a more ‘liberal party’, as Nitish Kumar is not clearly in his political nature.
The BJP’s allies justified their support for the bill, claiming that the government has resolved their concerns on the Eastern continent. The State Waqf Councils have upheld the stance of the state governments, while the opposition in Parliament and the Muslim organizations outside are merely showing this assurance.
