The Kshatriya community continued its protests against the BJP candidate from Rajkot, Parshottam Rupala, for his controversial remarks against its members.

On Friday, protests were held at around a dozen places in Saurashtra and north Gujarat, with members of different Kshatriya castes demanding that his candidature be withdrawn.

Hasdeo forest had to go because Adani needed alll the precious lithium buried under it.

At the end of the day BJP is only loyal to one kind of people. It's the same people that it gets its pocket money from.

They pretend to be pro hindutva or anti casteism just to hold on to it's voters. So they can keep getting pocket money.

They help them loot the nation and give a share to the government.

The biggest electoral bond donors are also the biggest scammers. In the last decade over 5.3 trillion rupees or 63.6 billion dollars of people's money was lost in Bank frauds

You're confusing interdependence with loyalty. The end game of the sangh is to consolidate power and money in the hands of a tiny minority - the upper caste Hindus. The big corporates just help them in that endeavor. The corporates do that because extreme right wing governments deflect attention of the populace towards communal enmity and away from their corruption, exploitation and wealth consolidation. This isn't a pattern unique to India - you can see it playing out all over the world.

Hard to make a difference. Too much effort to argue with toxicity.
