The controversy started in Karnataka over the hijab of Muslim girls. Then in Maharashtra, the issue of Ajan vs Hanuman Chalisa regarding loudspeakers has become hot and the matter has reached Halal. Gradually, this fire of communal tension started spreading in all the states of the country, where assembly elections are to be held at the end of this year or next year. 'This time the riot was very big, there was a lot of blood rain, next year will be a good harvest of voting' These lines were written taking a dig at the Indian political system, had gone decades ago, but even today on the communal incidents happening here and there in the country. Seems like the most accurate comment. When the year 2022 started, the country was busy with the election preparations of five states including UP by defeating the second wave of Kovid and breathing the third wave. Elections were held, results came and governments were crowned in different states. But as it is said that political parties in India are always in electoral mode. As soon as the elections are over in one place, preparations for the competition start in other places. Now whether it is a coincidence or a political conspiracy, the poisonous air of communalism is getting mixed in the states where such election contests are to be held. Small incidents are becoming the cause of big communal tension. At the slightest talk, the crowd comes out on the road and the law and order are seen lying at the mercy of the miscreants. There is the noise of such incidents in the media and social media and every day such news is coming out from some new area, whether it is Rajasthan, Karnataka, Gujarat, or Delhi and Maharashtra, where assembly elections are to be held. Or are the parties engaged in trying hard for the corporation elections. City-city tension prevails in Rajasthan If we talk about Rajasthan, then in the last month, such incidents of communal tension were seen in five districts which became headlines at the national level. On April 2, communal violence erupted after alleged stone-pelting at a bike rally on the occasion of Hindu New Year in Karauli. After fierce arson and stone-pelting, a curfew was imposed in the area. After this, on April 18, there was an incident of demolition of the temple by a bulldozer in the Alwar district, and on April 22, when its video surfaced, there was a ruckus. On May 2, there was a ruckus in Jodhpur on the occasion of Eid and Parshuram Jayanti, and on May 10, after the murder of a 20-year-old youth in Bhilwara, there has been a situation of communal tension. On May 11, the local leader of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) was attacked in Hanumangarh, after which the atmosphere was heated there too. There is a Congress government in Rajasthan and elections are going to be held next year. The political mood of Rajasthan has been such that the government changes hereafter every five years. This is the reason why BJP is gearing up. She is accusing Hindus of atrocities under Gehlot's rule. All the big leaders of the party are attacking Congress from the road to social media regarding these incidents. However, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is putting the opposition in the dock by calling these incidents a political experiment of the BJP. Sudden communal violence escalates in Madhya Pradesh Many incidents of communal violence have come to the fore in the Malwa-Nimar area, which is considered to be of a very calm nature in Madhya Pradesh for the last year. In the last one and a half years, more than 12 incidents of communal violence have taken place in three districts of the Malwa region of MP, Ujjain, Indore, and Mandsaur. Communal violence erupted on May 10 in Khargone after a dispute over a DJ playing in a procession on the occasion of Ram Navami. The matter increased so much that on the orders of the state government, the houses of the suspects were demolished by bulldozers. Recently such incidents have increased in MP. In Indore itself, two girls in Muslim clothes were with a man in the Muslim-dominated Bombay market. On seeing the identity cards, it was found that all three are Hindus, after which there was a ruckus and a situation of tension was created. In August, Hindu fighting here shared the video after eloping with a Muslim girl and getting married, there was a ruckus. <p class="text-align-justify">This month a Muslim youth from Hardoi was beaten up just because he was selling bangles in a Hindu settlement. Violence broke out on 25 December 2020 in the Begum Bagh area of Ujjain due to alleged stone pelting at a rally of BJP Yuva Morcha. Violence broke out on 29 December 2020 in Chandankhedi of Indore and Dorana village of Mandsaur after a rally by VHP leaders. This rally was organized with the aim of spreading awareness for donations for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.</p> <div class="stoybday-ad"> Assembly elections to be held in MP in 2023 Like Rajasthan, assembly elections are to be held in Madhya Pradesh at the end of 2023, where there will be an electoral contest between the BJP and Congress. In the 2018 assembly elections, the BJP lost the government despite being in power for 15 years. Under the leadership of Kamal Nath, the Congress was successful in forming the government by winning, but in 2020, due to the rebellion of Jyotiraditya Scindia and his supporting MLAs, the BJP was overthrown. Most of the Congress MLAs who rebelled against Scindia were from Malwa-Nimar. In the by-election held here, the rebels of Congress became MLAs again on BJP tickets, many of whom have also been awarded ministerial posts by the Shivraj government.

On the violence in Khargone, Congress Rajya Sabha MP Digvijay Singh had alleged that the communal riots that broke out on the festival of Ram Navami in different states of the country are fully sponsored and a pattern is working behind them. Describing religious frenzy as the biggest weapon of the ruling BJP, Singh also claimed that some Muslim organizations play political games with the BJP. He had alleged that religious fanaticism was the biggest weapon for the BJP, which is politically misused to divide Hindus and Muslims. In the elections to be held next year in MP, Congress is once again preparing to field under the leadership of Kamal Nath, then the attitude of the Shivraj government has changed this time and is following the pattern of the Yogi government of UP. From Karnataka to Hijab, the matter reached Halal Assembly elections are due in Karnataka in May next year. BJP is in power here. In the state, it is competing with Congress and Janata Dal-Secular. For the past few days, the politics of polarization is gaining momentum in the state. Communal violence started on the pretext of opposing the wearing of hijab by Muslim girls and then reached the call of Halal, Azaan, and economic boycott of Muslims. Not only this, violence erupted after a social media post in Hubli. The miscreants damaged police vehicles, a nearby hospital, and a religious place. Some police officers were also injured in this. Section-144 had to be imposed in Hubli city and about 40 people have been arrested and some FIRs have been registered. The minor incidents turned into violence in Gujarat Talking about Gujarat, there are going to be assembly elections at the end of this year itself. Can you imagine that even a minor road accident can turn into a communal riot? This is what happened in Gujarat's Vadodara city on April 18, when communal tension spread so much that people from both the communities pelted stones at each other and damaged a religious place and vehicles. 8-10 people have been injured in this violence. The BJP is in power in Gujarat for the last 27 years and is in the process of returning to the stick bar government. In such a situation, the sudden communal violence in Gujarat has created tension between the two communities. Why communal tension in Maharashtra? In Mumbai, the controversy over playing Ajan and Hanuman Chalisa on the pretext of the loudspeaker by Raj Thackeray, chief of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena has heated up politics. Raj Thackeray is openly playing the Hindutva card, in which BJP is seen standing completely with him. Not only this, independent MP Navneet Rana had announced to recite Hanuman Chalisa outside Matashree, after which he was arrested. In such a situation, there is political tension. Elections to the Mumbai Municipal Corporation and Thane Corporation are to be held in a few months. The Shiv Sena is currently in possession of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation. Raj Thackeray is now in a bid to capture the power of the Municipal Corporation with the BJP. Communal tension continues in Delhi In Delhi's Jahangirpuri area, communal tension was created due to stone-pelting during the Hanuman Jayanti procession and both the communities came face to face. People from both communities were also arrested for disturbing the atmosphere in the Jahangirpuri area. BJP launched a campaign to close the meat shops during Navratri. Mayors of South Delhi and East Delhi have asked to keep meat shops closed during Navratri. Mayor of South Delhi Municipal Corporation Mukesh Suryan wrote a letter to Commissioner Gyanesh Bharti saying that there is no need to open meat shops during Navratri. He appealed to keep the meat shop closed till April 11. Municipal elections are to be held soon in Delhi too, which has been occupied by BJP for 15 years. Starting from the Jahangirpuri area in Delhi, the bulldozer action reached Shaheen Bagh, which is considered to be a Muslim majority. There is tension in the Muslim areas of Delhi regarding the removal of encroachments. BJP state president Adesh Gupta had written a letter to the MCD and appealed to remove encroachment from all the places including Muslim-dominated areas of Shaheen Bagh, Okhla, on which there is a lot of tension. BJP is running a campaign to change the names of the settlements named after the Mughals and Muslims of Delhi. Due to this, there is tension in Delhi. Khalistani supporters suddenly active in Himachal Assembly elections are due in Himachal Pradesh at the end of this year. In such a situation, before the assembly elections, suddenly the issue of Khalistan has become hot. The Himachal Pradesh government had banned the entry of vehicles bearing the flag of Khalistani terrorist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, who was killed during Operation Blue Star in March this year. In such a situation, the terrorist organization Sikh for Justice is furious. Gurpatwant Singh Pannu has threatened Himachal CM Jairam Thakur when flags were raised in support of Khalistan outside the assembly amid electioneering. However, earlier in June 2021, a roadside milestone near the famous Naina Devi temple had written, 'The border of Khalistan begins from here. In this way, tension has built up in Himachal before the elections. </div>
