Faith, culture, and votes: Pilgrimage diplomacy begins in Hazaribagh
Haxaribagh, June 29 (UNI) Blending spiritual reverence with social outreach, MP Manish Jaiswal today launched the Sansad Teerth Darshan campaign in Hazaribagh—a unique initiative aimed at enabling elderly citizens from his constituency to embark on sacred pilgrimages. The campaign began with the ceremonial departure of 180 senior citizens from the revered Narsingh Baba temple in Khapriyawan under Katkamsandi block. In a moment filled with symbolism and cultural gravitas, Jaiswal and BJP state organisational secretary Karmveer Singh washed the feet of pilgrims before they boarded buses, a gesture that transformed politics into a deeply personal act of service. 'This is more than just a yatra. It's a son fulfilling the spiritual dreams of his elders,' Jaiswal said. The first batch of pilgrims—residents of Khapriyawan, Nawada, and Banha villages—will undertake a five-day journey to Varanasi, Ayodhya, Prayagraj (Sangam), and Vindhyachal. All pilgrims were dressed in traditional yellow attire, and their send-off included Vedic chants, bhajans, flower showers, and tilak ceremonies, lending a deeply devotional air to the event. A surprise drizzle just as the buses departed was seen by many as a divine blessing. Jaiswal, echoing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's emphasis on cultural values, said the campaign was inspired by the PM's idea of combining seva with sanskaar. 'We've organised mass marriages for 101 underprivileged couples, distributed lehengas to over 12,000 girls, launched football tournaments, and ensured traditional weapons reach Ramnavami Akharas. Now, through this yatra, we carry our elders to places they longed to visit,' he said. Each bus carried 60 pilgrims and five BJP workers responsible for safety, comfort, and coordination. The logistics were meticulously planned: ID cards with emergency contacts, medical kits, snacks, water bottles, dental kits, and ritual offerings were distributed to each pilgrim. A photograph of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, featuring the pilgrim's image, will be presented as a souvenir. Medical checkpoints have also been designated along the route. Rajya Sabha MP Aditya Sahu praised the effort, saying, 'Bringing smiles to the faces of those at the margins is our collective responsibility.' Chatra MP Kalicharan Singh called the initiative 'a rare chance to earn spiritual merit,' while Sadar MLA Pradeep Prasad declared it 'a model for the entire party.' Senior BJP leader Prof. K.P. Sharma traced the roots of pilgrimage from ancient scripture to present-day relevance, underscoring its enduring social value. The temple courtyard was packed with thousands of supporters and residents, many arriving well before the scheduled time. For some, it was a festival; for others, a deeply emotional farewell. From incense to rain, and sacred chants to disciplined coordination, the atmosphere embodied what one attendee described as 'governance with a soul.' The scale and tone of the event suggested more than just religious facilitation—it was an act of what might be called pilgrimage diplomacy: connecting with voters not through speeches, but through shared values, intimate gestures, and cultural touchstones. As politics across India becomes increasingly transactional, Jaiswal's campaign is notable for returning to something elemental—faith, community, and respect. Whether this shapes electoral outcomes or not, it certainly deepens the relationship between a representative and the represented. In a landscape where symbolism often trumps substance, Sansad Teerth Darshan attempts to unite both. And in doing so, it may well become a template for grassroots cultural engagement in Indian politics. UNI XC SSP

H'bag MP calls for ‘One Nation, One Election'
Hazaribag: Hazaribag MP Manish Jaiswal said the proposed system of 'One Nation, One Election' should evolve into a public movement as it is an issue that directly affects every citizen. He was addressing a seminar as the chief guest on Saturday at the Vivekananda Auditorium of Vinoba Bhave University in Hazaribag. The event was jointly organised by the department of political science and the internal quality assurance cell. Jaiswal said the aim of this system is to conduct Lok Sabha and state assembly elections simultaneously. From the time of India's independence until 1967, the One Nation, One Election system was in effect. However, later govts misused Article 356 for political interests, toppling state govts, which ultimately disrupted this unified electoral system. He said elections are held somewhere or the other throughout the year, and the entire country bears the brunt of it. Vice chancellor Prof Dinesh Kumar Singh said it is possible to achieve the goal of Developed India 2047 through this system. Chairing the seminar, Singh said that One Nation One Election will prove effective in achieving the goal of Vision 2047 set for developed India.

Will soon start teaching in tribal studies centre: VBU VC
Hazaribag: Vice chancellor of Vinoba Bhave University in Hazaribag, Dinesh Kumar Singh , said starting teaching and other academic activities in the tribal studies centre located at varsity headquarters at Sindoor is his top priority. Hazaribag MP Manish Jaiswal and tribal affairs expert Bulu Iman will be soon contacted for guidance regarding this, he added. The tribal study centre, built on a three storied building, was constructed at a cost of Rs 6 crore and was inaugurated in January 2024. However, it failed to start after its inauguration. The centre houses four studios, four classrooms, one auditorium, office, library, computer room, director's chamber, cafe and other facilities. The main aim of the centre was to enable students learn about tribal civilisation and culture while creating employment opportunities. Singh said that after inspecting the tribal studies centre, he has given the responsibility to Dr Vinod Ranjan, chairman of the department of anthropology to prepare a proposal in this regard and submit the draft on May 2. The anthropology department of VBU is known for setting records in tribal studies and research. The vice chancellor said a high level committee will be conducted soon by including tribal teachers working in the university headquarters and teachers expert in tribal matters.
