Key elements of BJP's narrative to attract voters

The BJP's narrative to attract voters is multifaceted and strategically crafted to resonate with a broad spectrum of the electorate. Here are some key elements:

  1. Catchy Slogans: The BJP has mastered the art of using catchy slogans to create a strong narrative. Phrases like "Aab ki baar 400 paar" and "Teesri baar Modi sarkar" have been effective in capturing public attention and sparking discussions.

  2. Strategic Alliances: The BJP has formed strategic alliances with regional parties to strengthen its position in various states. For example, in Maharashtra, alliances with Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena faction and Ajit Pawar's NCP faction have bolstered the BJP's electoral reach.

  3. Welfare Schemes: The BJP has implemented various welfare schemes that resonate with both rural and urban voters. Programs like the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) provide financial support to small and marginal farmers, which has been particularly impactful in agrarian states.

  4. Strong Leadership: The BJP projects strong leadership, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi being a central figure. His image as a decisive and charismatic leader helps in garnering voter support.

  5. Grassroots Mobilization: The BJP's formidable organizational structure, supported by the RSS, ensures strong grassroots mobilization. This helps in connecting with voters at the local level and addressing their concerns effectively.

  6. Nationalism and Security: The BJP often emphasizes nationalism and national security in its campaigns. This narrative appeals to voters' sense of patriotism and positions the party as a protector of national interests.

By combining these elements, the BJP has been able to create a compelling narrative that attracts a wide range of voters and maintains its political dominance.

Unveiling the "Real Majority" of India

Unveiling the "Real Majority": Divya Dwivedi’s Critique of the Hindu Majority Narrative * In contemporary Indian discourse, the notion of a "Hindu majority" is often taken as an unassailable fact, with official statistics frequently citing approximately 80% of India’s population as Hindu. This framing shapes political campaigns, cultural narratives, and even national identity. However, philosopher and professor at IIT Delhi, Divya Dwivedi, challenges this narrative in her provocative and incisive work, arguing that the "Hindu majority" is a constructed myth that obscures the true social composition of India. For Dwivedi, the "real majority" comprises the lower-caste communities—historically marginalized and oppressed under the caste system—who form the numerical and social backbone of the nation. Her critique, developed in collaboration with philosopher Shaj Mohan, offers a radical rethinking of Indian society, exposing the mechanisms of power t...

Mallanna Unleashes TRP: A New Dawn for Marginalized Voices in Telangana's Power Game

On September 17, 2025, Chintapandu Naveen Kumar, popularly known as Teenmar Mallanna—a prominent Telugu journalist, YouTuber, and former Congress MLC—launched the Telangana Rajyadhikara Party (TRP) in Hyderabad at the Taj Krishna Hotel. The event, attended by Backward Classes (BC) intellectuals, former bureaucrats, and community leaders, marked a significant moment for marginalized groups in Telangana. Mallanna, suspended from Congress in March 2025 for anti-party activities (including criticizing and burning the state's caste survey report), positioned TRP as a dedicated platform for BCs, Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), minorities, and the economically weaker sections.

Casteist Indian Bankers: Caste Bias Still Haunts Indian Banking

The Problem: Caste discrimination continues to plague the Indian banking sector, limiting access to credit for millions of lower-caste citizens. Data Point: A study  found that Scheduled Tribes (STs) face a 5-7% lower loan approval rate compared to higher castes, even after controlling for socioeconomic factors. How it Works: Discrimination in Action: Lower-caste individuals often encounter: Higher rejection rates for loan applications. Smaller loan amounts compared to higher-caste applicants. Less favorable terms, such as higher interest rates and stricter collateral requirements. The "Depositors, Not Borrowers" Mindset: Banks often view lower-caste individuals primarily as depositors, not as creditworthy borrowers. The Impact: Limited Economic Mobility: Restricted access to credit hampers entrepreneurship, reduces income growth, and perpetuates poverty cycles within marginalized communities. Reliance on Informal Lenders: The lack of access to formal ba...
