It seems India is in a hurry to move the country on the path of social reforms even before they scratch the surface of the economic pain points. The week that was and even the beginning of this one, has been rather explosive with Shiv Sena, on Sunday, demanding that Muslim voting rights be revoked so that they are not used by political parties for vote bank politics. Close on the heels of this declaration, Sanjay Raut, in an article published in Shiv Sena's mouthpiece Saamna, accused AIMIM leaders Asaduddin and Akbaruddin Owaisi of polarising the community. Finally, to add fuel to this illogical fire, Sakshi Maharaj, BJP MP from Unnao, supported Shiv Sena's controversial view and said that "politics of appeasement will not work now in the country." Fortunately, there are still some sane voices left who have not stopped protesting such inane comments. Once again, this controversy has given Congress and other political parties an opportunity to take a dig at BJP. The question is: Is BJP going to crack the whip on such MPs and allies. It's not the first time that when PM Narendra Modi is selling the Make in India dream to other countries, BJP MPs or it allies do something that goes against the positive image of the nation. It signals that such politicians/parties don't believe in Modi's idea of 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikaas' . What do you have to say, write to us with #ITSocialMedia.
