Babulal’s Unique Style: Worships Weapons in Front of Lord Vishwakarma Sparks Controversy

Babulal Soren, son of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren, has a very unique style. Whatever is in his mind, he says it in front of everyone. No confusion. He has been the central general secretary of JMM. Now he is in BJP. He is fond of vehicles, everyone knows. Vishwakarma Puja was done with full rituals, only one thing was different from the worship of others and it was seen a lot. He also worshiped four ultramodern weapons by placing them in front of the idol of Lord Vishwakarma. Not only this, his supporters also posted its picture and video on his social media account.

People of JMM have started making it an issue. There is talk of Babulal Soren contesting elections from Ghatsila assembly seat. His social media post is being made viral in the midnight itself in Ghatsila, Musabani and especially in the urban areas of Dhalbhumgarh. Comments are being written, please tell me… you want such a public representative.

Actually, Champai Soren’s family has many licensed weapons. These weapons are also made in the factory. Babulal Soren worshipped his vehicles. A learned Pandit was called for this. The idol was installed. Baba Vishwakarma is the god of construction. Fire arms are also manufactured. With this thought in mind, Babulal kept all his weapons there during the worship of the God.

His supporter Vishal Sahu duly posted the entire worship program on social media. Another close aide of his, Kanhaiya Pandey KP shared that post. The post made on social media in the afternoon reached the prominent leaders of JMM by the evening.

This also came to the notice of Ramdas Soren, who was made a cabinet minister in place of Champai. Immediately this issue was brought to the notice of people close to CM Hemant Soren. Champai Soren has started shaking the roots of the banyan tree of JMM in Santhal Pargana, so now JMM has started surrounding him and his son Babulal Soren from Saraikela to Ghatashila on this issue. Perception matters a lot in politics. This is the motto in the mind of JMM leaders.

Criticism of Weapon Worship: A Leader’s Responsibility

While Babulal Soren’s unique style of worshiping weapons during Vishwakarma Puja has garnered attention, it has also sparked significant controversy. Critics argue that showcasing and posting videos of weapons is not a good sign for a leader. In a region where political tensions are high, such actions can be perceived as promoting aggression rather than peace and development.

Leaders are often seen as role models, and their actions can influence public perception and behavior. By worshiping weapons and sharing it on social media, Babulal Soren may unintentionally send a message that contradicts the values of non-violence and constructive leadership. It is essential for leaders to be mindful of their actions and the potential impact on their followers and the broader community.
