Why BJP stood firm when Kshatriyas protested in Gujarat

IndiaTimes Friday, 3 May 2024 ()
Kshatriya protests in Gujarat, particularly against Rajya Sabha member Parshottam Rupala, have not significantly impacted BJP's electoral strategies. These agitations were brought under control once two of the three key people behind them — Hardik Patel and Alpesh Thakor — joined BJP. The party's focus on consolidating Patidar support and uniting lower castes minimizes the threat posed by the ongoing caste-related agitation.

‘Lord Jagannath Bhakt Of PM Modi’: BJP's Sambit Patra Sparks Major Controversy | Watch!

Sambit Patra, BJP's Lok Sabha candidate in Odisha's Puri seat, sparked controversy by proclaiming "Lord Jagannath is Modi's devotee" after a rally with PM Modi. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik condemned the statement, calling it an insult to Lord Jagannath and Odia pride. Patra apologized, citing a "slip of the tongue" due to heat. The incident underscores the sensitivity of mixing religion and politics. #SambitPatra #BJP #Odisha #OdishaElections #NaveenPatnaik #JagannathPuri #Purielections #PMModi #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #englishnewslive #englishnews #latestnews #news ~PR.320~ED.101~
