Watched Barkha Dutts We the People after a long gap tonight. Two - TopicsExpress



          

Watched Barkha Dutts We the People after a long gap tonight. Two panelists who spoke for PM Modi, said his poll victories were a rejection of Identity politics. That left me wonderstruck as I thought he benefitted as much from assertive majoritarianism in the Lok Sabha polls. Identity politics was hard to miss even in Maharashtra and Haryana elections where other castes polarized against the Maratha and Jat elites respectively. But what was most amusing was that Zafar Sareshwala who pitched the development-aspirational vote line (which is partly correct) was a guest discussant mainly because of his pro -Modi Muslim identity in Gujarat.
