2003 was very bad for Amarmani, a powerful leader of Purvanchal. This was the same time when Amarmani was
convicted for the murder of poet Madhumita Shukla. Actually, Madhumita was shot dead by two assailants at
Amarmani's residence. After which Madhumita's sister nidhi Shukla alleged that Madhumita was in a relationship with
Amarmani and was 7 months pregnant at the time she was murdered.
When Amarmani's name was involved in this case, mayawati expelled him from BSP and handed over the case to CBI.
The agency investigated and Amarmani and his wife were found guilty in the court. It was also proved that Amarmani
was the father of Madhumita’s child. After this, the relationship between Madhumita and Amarmani, which was under
rumors till now, came out in the open. Now after 20 years, yogi government has released Amarmani. After which
Madhumita’s sister and SP mp Dimple Yadav also opposed it. Dimple questioned this decision of the bjp government
and called it equivalent to waiving the sentence of the accused in the Bilkis Bano case.
Why is bjp betting on Amarmani?
Now, after coming out of jail after years, Amarmani may feel that the political world has changed. Gorakhpur is now
completely under the control of yogi Adityanath. At the same time, congress has made ajay Rai, who is a Bhumihar, the
Congress President of Uttar Pradesh to cater to the general class. In such a situation, apart from Dalits, bjp is also keeping an eye on the upper castes (especially Brahmins). In such a situation, the release of Amarmani Tripathi is also
being considered as a means of bjp to please the Brahmins.
