For the BJP Now & Before, Invoking the Communal Divide has been at the Core of Its Electoral Politics

Teesta Setalvad, talks to Newsclick on communal politics of BJP in Uttar Pradesh. They have intensified the communalizing mode, it has been there in the past. There’s always a subtext to the BJP campaign.  Teesta gives the example of last July when Amit Shah referred to the alleged migration of 100 families of a community from the Western UP town of Kairana and said that it is a matter of deep concern. Adding to that, she talks about Amit Shah’s speeches where there is always a subtext of communalism. Amit Shah as BJP’s President has been using the subtext of aggressive, intimidatory communalism since last July.
