INTERVIEW | ‘BJP doesn’t care about Hindus, uses them for votes’: Sasikanth Senthil

The Hindu  

Published : Jul 02, 2024 18:18 IST - 20 MINS READ Sasikanth Senthil has been a key figure in the Congress’ resurgent performance in the 2024 Lok Sabha election. Senthil has also been actively involved with the Congress “war room” for the general election, which he also helped set up in Karnataka ahead of the 2023 Assembly election. I believe that the Prime Minister actually picked up the idea of “Modi Ki Guarantee” after the Karnataka election’s “Congress Ki Guarantee”. In their hearts, they are casteists, and they are casteist people sitting on the higher echelons, trying to flummox the rest of the caste system to make believe they have actually won.

A new pole in Indian politics

Hindustan Times

Reservation in NEET Is A Political Move By The BJP, Not Social Justice

The Quint  

Third, though the BJP claims that it has politicised and mobilised the subaltern and powerless Dalit-Bahujans sections, a cursory view would reveal that such politicisation has not brought any substantive change in their socio-economic conditions and educational status. A majority of these groups still survive in the most precarious conditions and remain excluded from the basic human entitlements of health, …

Firstpost  

The Constitution of India provides equal rights to all its citizens, but the oppressed sections of society, despite constitutional safeguards and rights, have minimal representation in political and governmental bodies. In a casteist society like India, political parties are also majorly dominated by upper caste elites, which helps them in preserving status quo. However, in order to promote and position …
