Think and vote
General election 2024 has a deeper implication due to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s socio-politico agenda. It looks like it is another war of independence because of the divisive and hate politics of the BJP, which is dangerous for the unity and integrity of the nation. Democratic values are in great danger. Secularism is fading fast. One government at the Centre with no rights for the States will hamper the growth and development of States. On the one hand, the BJP buys off its opponents, failing which cases are filed against them. Instrumentalities of the government such as the ED and CBI are used towards party ends. On the other hand, the BJP has successfully weaponised Hindutva for electoral gains. The reality is that Hindutva is being used as a smoke screen to hide the crony capitalist policies of the BJP. The real issues facing the nation are unemployment, inflation, poverty, wealth and income inequality, religious polarisation, caste discrimination among others which can never be tackled with the BJP’s agenda.
