The Congress party released its manifesto for the Karnataka elections on Tuesday. Among all the promises made by the Congress, one promise that stands out is the ban on organizations like Bajrang Dal and PFI. The line of the Congress manifesto is that strict legal action should be taken against groups that spread division in the society, be it groups like Bajrang Dal belonging to the majority community or PFI belonging to the minority community.
With the mention of Bajrang Dal and PFI in the Congress manifesto, the BJP can also make it an election issue. Because the central government had already banned PFI. While Bajrang Dal is a subsidiary organization of RSS. By showing the fear of ban on Bajrang Dal, BJP can polarize the vote by scaring the Hindu voters. After the announcement of the Congress manifesto, pro-Congress people took to social media to say that the Congress should have avoided the announcement, as the BJP could cash in on it.
BJP in its manifesto yesterday talked about implementation of Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and NRC (National Register of Citizens). However, a Karnataka minister later said that the NRC would not be implemented soon after coming to power. Several other BJP-ruled states have announced UCC and NRC but have not been able to implement it till date. In which the UP and MP governments are prominent. Both the states have been ruled by the BJP for a long time.
