Congress pursues politics of “divide Hindus for Muslim rule”: BJP
The BJP has accused the Congress party and Telangana CM Revanth Reddy of attempting to divide Hindu society through regional and caste-based rhetoric. The BJP spokesperson criticized Reddy's comments on historical and religious figures, framing them as anti-Hindu.
Why it matters
This reflects the ongoing intense political polarization in India regarding identity politics and religious discourse.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday (September 30, 2026) accused the Congress and Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy of seeking to divide Hindu society along regional, linguistic, caste, and gender lines, while referring to Mr. Reddy’s remarks on Lord Shiva and Lord Rama.
At a press conference, BJP MP and spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi alleged that the Congress pursued the politics of “divide Hindus for the Muslim rule”.
Countering Mr. Reddy’s comments, made at an event on Monday (September 28, 2026), he charged the Congress with wanting to divide Hindu society into South and North. “The same Telangana CM, Revanth Reddy ji, is himself saying now that ‘we are Dravidian, they are Aryans’. It is such a foolish, baseless theory, which has now been rejected throughout the world,” he said.
