Raj Thakre is repeatedly targetting north Indian to brighten his political fortune. In fact there is need to look at this political game in a broader way. Indian National Congress used its Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Cards for more than three decades i.e. 1950-80s and loose its political grounds to regional political forces like Samajwadi party, BSP, DMK, AIDMK, etc. These regional political parties are stnading on the same ground which was used by INC. BJP used another card that is religious frenzy in 1980 and gained power. Than Prime Minister VP Singh used OBC card to save his political equation. All these parties at one time or another used apartheid politics either to remain in power or to gain into power.
What Raj Thakre doing is new avtar in political game.Since religion and caste are already in use, Raj choosen ethnicity to gain his political ground.
In fact emergence of opportunist dominism in Indian politics is due bankruptcy of ideology and vision. Now politics is game of the people coming from criminal background, political families and retired bureocrates (often nurtured in corrupt environment). Bright and well educated young generation do not choose politics as their career. Given these situations we should not expect Raj to speak out on his vision for development. He will play apartheid politics to make his claims to power
