Is Hate BJPs New Weapon to Gain Political Mileage?

Besides India, several other nations with a good amount of Hindu population had celebrated the auspicious Sri Rama Navami festival the other day. However, a few unwanted situations were reported when the rallies were attacked by unidentified mobs. As many as four states reported such communal clashes and a person had to breathe his last.

The states like Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, and West Bengal reportedly saw communal clashes the other day as reported by the national media outlets. The concerned police departments have swung into action to probe the respective incidents.

However, a BJP MLA had made controversial statements during the yatra in Telangana's Hyderabad. The songs that were played at the Yatra had reportedly claimed that India would be made a Hindu Rashtra soon. The son cites the example of Uttar Pradesh for the same.

Goshamahal MLA Raja Singh is not new to controversies and his statements often hit the headlines. Going by his same nature, he is believed to have sung the lyrics written in Hindi which say that India would be made a Hindu Rashtra soon and those who don't take the name of Lord Rama will be thrown out of the country. "Jo ram ka naam na le unko Bharat se bhagana hai," the song lyrics say.

The saffron party BJP is often criticized for inciting hate by using such communal statements and comments. The criticism turned intense when the Muslim students were asked to remove their hijab while entering the educational institutions.

Later, a new demand to boycott Halal chicken was started in BJP-ruled Karnataka, followed by asking Muslim fruit vendors to not do business on the premises of Hindu temples. Not just that, cabs driven by Muslim drivers were also subjected to boycott as a few Hindu groups gave a call for this. Hindu groups have reportedly urged the locals to not use the cabs driven by Muslim drivers.

With another one coming with Raja Singh's statements, one wonders if BJP is using hate to create a rift among the communities to boost their political mileage and for their political gains. Most of the time, the leaders use similar words or statements.
