The real enemy of the BJP is not the parties, but the Constitution
1. The Real Enemy is Not the Parties, But the Constitution
The primary ideological enemy of the Bharatiya Janata Party is not the Congress Party or the Communist Parties; it is the Constitution of India. Political parties may be rivals in the electoral field, but the Constitution acts as an ideological barrier to the BJP's national vision. Core principles that form the foundation of the Indian Constitution, such as secularism and federalism, are direct obstacles to the BJP's stated goals. Redefining the political war—which was previously viewed merely as competition between parties—as a struggle to protect the Constitution adds a new dimension to this debate.
Their only driving force is the desire to defeat their primary, true enemy: the Constitution, which was secured by revolutionaries.
2. Franchise: The Only Weapon in the Hands of the Poor
Universal suffrage was not easily attained. In a time when only those with property or education had the right to vote, the revolutionary Ambedkar fought for universal adult franchise without any distinction based on wealth or education. The power of this franchise is immense. It is the only weapon that makes political leaders, who previously did not even regard the people as humans, come to the slums and remote villages and greet them with folded hands. His speech strongly establishes that the right to vote is the sole instrument that affirms the existence of the poor and marginalized.
3. Voter Deletion: Is the 'Infiltrators' Story a Mere Cover-Up?
The argument that they are 'removing infiltrators from neighboring countries from the voter list' is a cover-up for a larger plan. He debunks the credibility of this argument with a simple question: "Out of the 47 lakh people you removed from the voter list, you have identified only 300 as being from neighboring countries. So, who are the remaining hundreds of thousands of people?" This question exposes a massive hidden agenda behind the 'removal of infiltrators' mask: a grand scheme to disenfranchise the indigenous poor who cannot provide the 13 documents requested by the government. The ultimate goal is to create a National Register of Citizens (NRC) and send people to detention camps.
You published a final report stating that 47 lakh people were removed from the list. Can you identify how many of those 47 lakh were from neighboring countries? You identified only 300 people.
4. Praising While Undermining: The New Strategy for Ambedkar
The BJP employs a dual strategy concerning the revolutionary Ambedkar. On one hand, they build him up as a grand figure by praising him, installing colossal statues, and celebrating his birthday. On the other hand, they engage in work that dismantles the very soul of the Constitution he created. This strategy serves a dual purpose: it strategically utilizes Ambedkar, the powerful icon of the oppressed, to expand their electoral base, while simultaneously diluting his ability to function as an opposing ideological symbol. Thus, by publicly honoring the great man, they create a political shield for undermining the Constitution—the foundational creation that he built.
They praise him, they change the location of his birthplace, they arrange for a statue to be erected in Mumbai, but they are simultaneously dismantling the Constitution.
5. Social Division: Inciting Caste Pride for Gain
This point addresses how right-wing organizations operate at the grassroots level. Their strategy involves fostering caste-based organizations within every community, promoting caste pride, and thereby diverting people's attention away from fundamental issues like education, employment, and economic rights toward emotional identity politics. This is a classic 'Divide and Rule' tactic, updated for modern identity politics. It ensures that the oppressed people do not unite on the basis of common economic or social issues to form a broad coalition.
