BJP will not leave politics of polarization

Over the top, these comments and statements can be construed as a message to pro-Hindutva fighters to keep quiet. But perhaps doing so is like expecting a zebra to change the stripes on its body. Pawns such as Nupur Sharma and Jindal may be highly sacrificed in the data-face of the unfavorable diplomatic situation that has arisen in the Gulf, but the Hindu-Muslim binary has defined bjp politics from the very beginning.


Nupur Sharma and Jindal went a long way by attacking Prophet Muhammad directly. They can be sacked to deal with the immediate crisis. However, this does not mean that there has been any change in the political and ideological character or nature of the BJP. After all, it took the same party a week to act against him, and that too not before it turned into a diplomatic crisis.



Coming back to the same questions, it can be said that no one has any definite answer to them yet. This will become clear in the coming weeks and months. But rectifying one's blunders is something that may prove to be a good fit for the BJP's electoral politics ahead of the 2024 lok sabha elections.



There is a dire need to rectify the mistakes
After losing nearly two dozen allies since 2014, the bjp does not have many allies left and the loyalties of the rest will also come under pressure if the ruling party follows an aggressive Hindutva strategy. Getting off the high horse that the bjp is riding and reassessing its position will do well for it – provided it is not expecting another Modi wave in the 2024 lok sabha elections, which is not 282 or 303, but its It seems to ensure getting 272 seats on Dum. Ten years of anti-incumbency—whether with rahul gandhi as the data-face of the opposition or not—is a factor it cannot ignore. There is no possibility of india becoming a 5 trillion dollar economy by 2024-25 and till then the income of farmers is not going to double. So it is not that in 2024 there will be happiness all around.



Then what the bjp must be missing the most are its allies. Its ambitious expansionist project is now going awry in many states. An indicator of its political decline has come from odisha only last week. In the Brajrajnagar assembly by-elections here, it has also finished third behind a dying Congress. This was when Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who is considered its data-face in odisha, campaigned for two days in this constituency. In the rural elections held in march this year, the bjp had won just 42 seats, down from 297 seats five years ago. This weekend, naveen patnaik in his cabinet reshuffle dropped 11 ministers whose names were embroiled in various controversies. These include Law minister Pratap Jena, who has been accused of involvement in the murder of two bjp leaders; junior Home minister Divya shankar Mishra, who was facing questions over the murder of a school teacher in Kalahandi; and Higher education minister Arun Sahu, who had allegedly protected the accused in another murder case.



It seems that the odisha chief minister is now so confident of containing the BJP's boom in the state that he is said to be planning a foreign trip, which is his last 22 years as cm outside the country. There will only be another trip. The last time he visited london was in 2012, when his closest person, Pyaaremohan Mohapatra, unsuccessfully attempted his coup.
