Chandrashekhar Azad Critiques BJP and PM Modi on Caste Politics

By A Staff Reporter — In Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, Chandrashekhar Azad, the National President of the Aazad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram), criticized the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for perpetuating caste and religious divisions in the country. Speaking at a recent event, Azad emphasized the need for constructive action instead of empty slogans, stating, "Instead of raising slogans 'Batenge toh katenge', they should do some meaningful work."

Azad called for a shift in the government's approach, urging PM Modi to advocate for a caste-free society. "The government perpetrates atrocities in the name of caste and religion... The public knows the reality and now will not fall for their false promises," he asserted, reflecting growing discontent among voters regarding caste-based politics.

In light of the BJP's recent announcement of six candidates for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh by-polls, Azad questioned the timing of this decision. "Why have they released the list of candidates at the last moment? The public has taught them a lesson in the Lok Sabha elections, and that’s why they are taking every step cautiously," he remarked. He suggested that had the BJP coordinated better with allied parties during the Lok Sabha elections, they could have achieved more favorable outcomes.

Azad’s comments highlight the ongoing tensions in Uttar Pradesh’s political landscape, as parties prepare for the by-polls amid rising public scrutiny. His call for accountability and genuine change resonates with voters increasingly wary of political rhetoric that fails to translate into real-world action.
