Baba's coming out of jail, serving life imprisonment in connection with murder and rape, is also being linked to Punjab elections. If sources are to be believed, the 45-member committee of the dera is in constant touch with Baba, which can submit a report in the next 48 hours. After this, instructions will be issued to the Sangat, that is, the followers, which party is Baba's reference regarding the election. Dera influences about 69 seats in the Malwa region of Punjab.

Presenting the exclusive report of Bhaskar from Dera Charcha Ghar in Sector 50, Gurugram. You can also give your opinion by participating in the poll.

With only 10 days left for the election, there has been a lot of excitement in the dera. The Dera with lakhs of followers has the potential to make a big difference in the elections. In the last elections too, the Dera supporters supported the BJP at the last minute and the SAD-BJP alliance benefited. At that time, the Aam Aadmi Party was thinking that they would get a good lead-in Malwa, but in the end, the mathematics of the Aam Aadmi Party went wrong and the Congress reached the throne of power in Punjab.

Ram Rahim will spend the entire time of parole here

In the security of Ram Rahim, along with his private security guard, Haryana Police is also deployed. A complete investigation is being done on the person coming here. According to the administration, Baba will have to spend the entire time of parole at this camp, because the address is recorded in the parole application. The administration has also made it clear that apart from this camp, Ram Rahim will not be able to visit any other camp.

Surveillance with CCTV cameras everywhere

The discussion house where Baba Ram Rahim has been kept has CCTV cameras all over it. Security personnel is deployed from the main gate to the main road. The tent has been covered from all sides by putting big curtains on the roof. Every hour one or the other VIP continues to visit the Sector 50 camp. There is a black film on the windows of the vehicles of the convoy. From this, it is difficult to guess who is coming to meet Baba.

No one is being allowed to stay at the gate for long and the policemen present at the gate are keeping a close watch on the people. Apart from this, the intelligence system is also active. 40 to 50 jawans of Haryana Police are present at the Dera all the time.

Ram Rahim's tent showed strength twice, then Baba came out

Dera Sacha Sauda chief Guru Gurmeet Ram Rahim may have been serving a sentence in Haryana's Sunaria Jail since 2017, but these devotees show no lack of faith in their guru. Just a month before the elections in Punjab, the Dera Sacha Sauda organized two large gatherings, in which lakhs of people gathered. The dera calls this gathering 'Naam Charcha'.

On January 9, the birthday celebration of the second Guru of the dera, Shah Satnam Singh, was celebrated at Salabatpura in Bathinda district of Punjab. The Dera claims that on this day only 25 lakh people reached this Dera. Then on 25 January, the Dera Sacha Sauda headquarters gathered in Sirsa to celebrate the 103rd birthday of the Dera followers of Punjab and Haryana, Guru Shah Satnam Singh. Even though both these gatherings appear to be religious events when viewed from above, just before the elections, this is a show of strength of the Dera. Experts say that this is the biggest event ever since Ram Rahim went to jail in 2017 and this happening before the Punjab elections is a sign for all the political parties that if the parties ignore the Dera, then they will have to do it in the elections. Will have to bear the consequences.

10 thousand camps in Punjab, each one is dominant

There are about 10 thousand Deras in Punjab and Dera Sacha Sauda has participated in politics the most openly in political history. The Dera has openly stood by the parties and candidates in the elections. That is why this Dera has been the most talked about and controversial. People here tell that in 2007, 2012 also we had voted once for Congress and second time for Akali Dal on the orders of Dera.

The message reaches every devotee through a very organized network.

Professor Ashutosh Kumar of Panjab University, who has done research work on the deras, says, “The power structure in Punjab is limited to only one section (Jatt Sikhs). At the same time, the participation in power of a section of the society (SC community) is negligible. In such a situation, the leaders of political parties target the voters of this class through Deras. The leaders feel that by going to the guru of the dera, their trust should be won so that their followers also vote in support of the party. The communication network of Dera is very well organized. It is completely organized. Now in the age of technology, only one WhatsApp message gets the job done. Political Affairs Committee is there in Dera Sacha Sauda. The guru of the dera decides whom to support.
