indianexpress.comI think most of these are wannabes who say this for attention! It’s tough to be in BJP and get the limelight without saying communal and hatred remarks. If you belong to a particular niche party, you must do, provide or showcase the best at what the party is about. This post wouldn’t have happened if he said he will provide jobs or if he apologizes for Indians feeling unsafe and promises a better safer India. This remark is what got him attention. His plan worked. But it’s just my theory.

Spot on. This is my theory too. I have taken it a bit further though. I feel BJP allowed such antics because returns were good but for far too long and now these people are no longer in the HQ control. Remember when we heard that Modi had internally tried to reign these type of people in? Seems like it didn't work and now they are only embarrassing the party. To me it really feels like BJP bigwigs are spread thin fighting battles on all fronts and accusations leaving them no time to regroup and control the vast amount of MLAs and MPs they have. Yogi is a bigger example. His comments and his manner of governance is simply not going to work but Modi can't do shit publicly. Shekhar Gupta said Yogi was Modi's biggest mistake and I think he's absolutely right. He's shooting BJP in the foot by having PM aspirations and it's no surprise we see Republic TV and Times Now constantly bashing Yogi since a year or so. Any bashing BJP gets on these channels is directed at Yogi. While Modi will want to turn the narrative to good governance and strongman decisions, Yogi will talk Hindutva and communalism and just drown out any good work or promise. Both of them are fucking stupid.
OTOH Congress seems to have taken the time away from being in any kind of real power to regroup and establish communication channels. During the Sacred Games-Rajiv Gandhi remark, a couple of Congress workers had spoken up and one filed a case. RaGa or anyone else swiftly asked them to withdraw the case and themselves released a statement in support of freedom of expression. Same deal with Accidental PM.

That was just a dog whistle to cater to the non-Hindutva supporter base. BJP's election strategy, at least prior to last month's state elections, was to go all-out Hindutva. At this moment, I think even the HQ has no idea how to move forward - use dog whistling politics or go hard core

They never tried to reign people in.

This is not entertainment industry to get more attention you blurt out random shit. These people actually believe in what they say, so don't try to trivialize it by saying it's an attention grabbing exercise.
17
That's how trump supporters defend his bullshit. "Don't go by what he is saying, he doesn't mean it". Jesus christ. Do you even hear yourself?
14
This is how people will keep normalizing their flirt with fascism till it gets them riots and bloodshed on the streets. It's already happening in India and all around the world but our braindead janta still deem it as trivial

Does getting attention only limited to entertainment industry? Politics works the same way.

There's attention and there is threat. It would be highly detrimental to us if we take these things as mere empty attention grabbing threats.
After all, the cow mata shit started similarly and everyone was laughing off why anyone would consider a man's life less than a cow. 4 years and several lynchings later nobody is laughing.
11
Threat is attention. Most of what BJP threatens are only on paper. Hardly anything converted to real life issue.

I think you are not aware on how politics works. Politics never worked by how it should work. It works on manipulation, creating attention and targeting a group of audience and giving them tailored speeches.

Using the excuse of ''íts just politics'' to trivalise and normalise hate speech is idiotic.

What you understood from my comment isn’t my problem. I didn’t normalize it. I just wanted to point out that some people deliberately say stuff like this to get the attention! If you pay attention to him and respond you’re only favoring him! Many people rely on negative publicity like KRK, Dinchak Pooja etc! You can’t reason with such people.

When we are close to election season, the only attention he's getting by doing this is negative. How is this of any help to him or his party?

Over confidence maybe!

While there is some truth to that, it's also very hard to believe that the guy doesn't actually believe/want to do that. It's not like he wants to do the opposite and work for safety of minorities but unfortunately can't because of his supporters not liking that. He and his supporters have the same beliefs and want the same things.
We as citizens cannot just turn a blind eye to this and let it slide as him trying to get headlines. That is very dangerous. If it really does give him headlines and support of his followers, where would he and others like him stop? What's stopping him or someone else to actually pull something off in order to gather more support and fame. It's not like something like that has never happened in this part of the world.
Normalizing shit like this paves the way for escalation. Let's take that one lesson from human history if nothing else.

I’m not saying ignore it. Just saying a tactic where people say provocative statements to be in the limelight. Logical steps should be taken like voting the govt out from power which will teach them people are the boss.
1
I'm not saying you told us to ignore it but the way you termed it tends to trivialize the problem which people tend to ignore. We should speak out against all such statement to make sure they know there is no place for violence and hatred in the country.

Actually that's AMAZING logic because when you bomb them they will die. And via a process called reincarnation, they will find a new home in USA or Europe. It's actually kind of brilliant. Sign me in!

thats the typical bhakt logic

Yes, that will make them feel very safe.
64
Bombings will continue until safety improves.
38
Murders will continue till morale improves.
17
Safety will improve when there is no one left to feel unsafe

I literally laughed out loud at this one. They keep out-dumbing themselves.

It's a contest b/w the Republicans and the BJP.

Give me a ministry and I will bomb all such people, not even one will be spared.”
What would be the name of the ministry? Ministry of peace?

Ministry of pieces.

Ministry of Rest In Peace.

BJP logic--- Grabs your throat " WhY ArE YoU NoT FeElINg SaFe, YoU ShOuLD FeEl FuCkING SaFe".

The absolute irony of this very statement...

It's interesting to see that he publicly spews out but is considered bullshit by us, however in his constituency HAS to be a majoritarian viewpoint.
The more the elected members of parliament say shit like this, the more I understand what a majority of their constituents think and believe about such issues.
And such statement are only becoming more and more common. Its a indicator which we are casually ignoring while laughing at this while Muslims in these constituencies are genuinely and legitimately in fear for their lives.

And that's why they feel unsafe.

Can't feel unsafe when you're dead. (งツ)ว

irony just bit its own tail.

Because then they can rest in peace...

NOBLE PIECE PRIZE FOR M JI.

Get approval from United Nations and create whatsapp forwards!
