A myth is created that Divisive Politics is Good Politics.
by rajana on Apr 08, 2008 10:25 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The Godhra riots is a good example. Gujurat being communaly polarized has given Modi his 3rd term. Now the BJP is replicating a modified version of this strategy - dividing Tamilians & Kanndigas who lived peacefully together for ages. Two years in power, Yedriruppa felt no need to visit Hoggenakal. Elections round the corner, he visits Hoggenakal and gives provocative speech designed to make Kannidigas and Tamilian Hindus fight

BJP's long term ally, Shiv Sena in Maharashtra similarly targets North Indians. In the intial stages of their political history, ironically they targeted South Indians but during the Aydhoya period, switched to Muslims as they thought there was better political capital to be made.

Like rivers switching their course, these divisive parties switch their targets. It could be Muslims one day and one can say it does not concern me as I'm not Muslim. They then turn to North Indians we say it does not concern us as we are not North Indians. Suddenly they start targeting you because you are either a Kanndiga or Tamilian and the reality hits home. The worst are those who have mixed parentage. In this Hogenakkalissue, thousands of offsprings whose parents are Tamil & Kanndiga are left extremely distressed.

If you still not one of them, don't worry. Tomorrow, these same parties will target you on the basis of your caste.It is time to show Divisive parties, may it be BJP, Muslim League or BSP their place- throw them into the Bay of Bengal!

Shut up you mongrel.
You don't qualify to wash Modi's inner wear also. Kannadigas and Tamilians have fought since decades. Is the BJP responsible for that???

Don't exhibit your foolish self here.

Who says?? That casteist Yediruppa visited Hoggenkal and made provocative speeches. Why BJP wants to divide Hindus. Even if otherwise, what did BJP do to unify Hindus, both Tamilians & Kanndigas. You Northies and Gujus do not know South India

Remember 30% of Muslims in Gujarat voted for Modi in last election.

After Akshardham episode, there was no riot.

Do you know how many riots were there during congress rule in Gujarat? and who was found culprits for the same? (All the culprits were connected to Congress/Commies & the riots were organised in support of their internal rivalry)

Do not blame without due homework...
