BJP

Various BJP-ruled states like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh are considering laws to combat the so-called โ€œlove jihadโ€. Karnataka already has a law against forced conversions.

Bengaluru: The BJPโ€™s Karnataka chief has advised his party workers to focus on fighting โ€œlove jihadโ€ instead of โ€œminor issuesโ€ like road and sewage problems.

Nalin Kateel, a BJP MP, made the comments at a party meeting on Monday in poll-bound Karnataka.

โ€œI am asking you people โ€“ donโ€™t speak about minor issues like road and sewage. If you are worried about your childrenโ€™s future and if you want to stop โ€˜love Jihadโ€™, then we need BJP for that. To get rid of love jihad, we need BJP,โ€ Mr. Kateel addressed booth-level workers of the party.

The opposition Congress slammed the remarks, accusing the ruling party of trying to polarize voters.โ€This is the worst (reply).

They are not looking at development, they are looking at hate, they are looking at dividing the countryโ€ฆThat is why we are only looking at development,โ€ said DK Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president.

โ€œThey are just playing people on emotion. We want jobs, we want that price rise should not affect people, we are worried about the daily living of people,โ€ he told while interacting with the press
