BJP’s toppling game in Maharashtra a sign of things to come?

The Hindu  

Published : Jul 10, 2022 18:00 IST Over the past few decades, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh -led Sangh Parivar has perfected the art of couching an insidious political agenda or project in sanctimonious terms. Tall claims However, at the BJP national executive meeting, the party’s top leadership, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and party president J.P. Nadda, used strikingly similar language to characterise its manoeuvres as efforts to create a “Parivar-mukt political India”. The BJP’s toppling games began in Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, and Rajasthan immediately after the 2018 Assembly election results were announced but reached fruition in July 2019 in Karnataka and March 2020 in Madhya Pradesh, when the BJP managed to wean away several MLAs from the Congress. After the Maharashtra Assembly election that followed the BJP’s ovewhelming victory in the 2019 Lok Sabha election, long-term BJP ally Shiv Sena joined hands with the Congress and the NCP to form the government. ‘Operation Lotus’ The successful manoeuvres in Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra, and the unsuccessful ones in Rajasthan and Jharkhand were dubbed “Operation Lotus” by BJP and Sangh Parivar insiders.
