One of India's most prominent activists, Dr. Anjali Sapkal has alleged that the BJP party has "robbed" the electoral process in the country, claiming that the party's tactics threaten Indian democracy altogether.
Dr. Sapkal, who rose to prominence as a grassroots activist for HIV/AIDS patients and for establishing India's first AIDS hospice, stated that the BJP's ideology was harmful to the country's diverse society and a direct attack on the country's founding principles.
She further stated that "the BJP is attempting to undermine the country's constitutional values and democratic principles. Their goal is to establish a Hindu nation based on a single religious identity, which would undermine the rights and liberties of millions of citizens."
The BJP has faced scrutiny and criticism in recent years for its handling of various public issues and allegations of corruption, which have led to a significant decline in popular support.
Dr. Sapkal concluded with a call to action, urging the country's citizens to "remain vigilant and actively resist such regressive forces that threaten to undermine India's rich democratic spirit."
This comment comes as concerns over the BJP's democratic credentials have grown, with many fearing that the party's agenda is gradually undermining the secular and inclusive foundations of India's democracy.
