The BJP district unit president Mangala Somashekar has landed in a soup for ‘inadvertent’ usage of a word perceived to slight a section of the society.
The party had submitted a memorandum to the district administration in Mysuru on Wednesday asking it to deny permission for the conduct of Mahisha Dasara being organised by social activist groups and writers since the last few years.
The memorandum said no permission should be issued to the “shudra forces’’ and this has drawn flak from various quarters as it was sought to brand Dalits and other OBC groups as being hostile or despicable.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
