New Delhi: After the Lok Sabha election results, is BJP returning to hardline Hindutva? Is the belief in Sabka Saath, Sabka Vishwas diminishing? These questions are being raised after the statements made by some BJP leaders in recent times. There is also a discussion within the party after the Lok Sabha elections that Muslim voters voted against BJP en masse. Despite schemes like triple talaq, housing for all, Ujjwala Yojana, free ration, BJP did not get Muslim votes. Some big BJP leaders believe that even when we do not discriminate, it hurts when we do not get even a single vote at Muslim-dominated booths. In the Lok Sabha elections 2024, the slogan of crossing 400 was raised by BJP, but this time the party remained far from the majority on its own. After these results, is the saffron party returning to hard core Hindutva?‘There is no need for ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas”
Senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari blamed the low support from the minority community for the party’s poor performance in West Bengal in the Lok Sabha elections and said that there is no need for Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and instead he proposed ‘Hum Unke Saath Jo Hamare Saath’. Addressing the BJP state executive on Wednesday, Adhikari also rejected the need for a minority front of the party. He said, I have also spoken for nationalist Muslims. We all talk about Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas but from now on I will not say this because I believe that instead it should be ‘Hum Unke Saath Jo Hamare Saath’… there is no need for a minority front. However, later Suvendu Adhikari said that my statement was misinterpreted.
‘Muslim population in Assam has reached 40 percent today’
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma made a big statement about the change in demography. He mentioned Assam. CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the change in demography is a big issue for me. The Muslim population in Assam has reached 40 percent today, which was close to 12 percent in 1951. We have lost many districts. This is not a political issue for me. It is a question of life and death for me. Even before this, Himanta said that madrasas are not needed in the new India. We have to move forward in this direction, we have to change our education system. We have closed 600 madrasas in Assam and intend to close all madrasas in future.
