They survive on fuel of hate, says RJD’s Manoj Jha
As the Indian Youth Congress on Tuesday protested against the rising prices of essential commodities by cooking on the road, Rashtriya Janata Dal Rajya Sabha member Manoj Jha said the BJP wasn’t worried because its electoral successes didn’t depend on solving people’s problems.
Jha argued that the Narendra Modi government didn’t pay even a modicum of heed to the Opposition’s protests on the savage increase in prices because their source of political strength was different.
“They survive on the fuel of hate; they win elections not by solving problems of the people, by addressing their concerns. They create divisions in society, incite passions and win. Animosity among the citizens is their strength. Hence our discourse doesn’t affect their electoral prospects,” Jha said.
