This is being used by RSS/BJP to revise the impact of non-BJP/RSS aligned states on parliamentary decision making.
If 30 out 100 seats in parliament belongs to a state that rejects BJP/RSS, it means that about 1/3rd control on winning a parliamentary vote remains with an opposing state. Not all circumstances need a mere 51% vote for a win. For instance, any constitutional amendment, will need 2/3rd majority vote in favor of that amendment. If 1/3rd of the seats are with opposing states, then the government will have to convince the rest of the parliamentarians conclusively to make that amendment to the constitution. If 100 seats is modified to 140 seats with the 30 for opposing states remaining the same, then 110/140 comes up to 78% which clearly crosses the required 2/3rd majority (despite the opposing state voting against such constitutional amendment). It improves the probability of successfully securing a parliamentary nod for any and every constitutional amendment that the RSS/BJP disposition might want to.
The RSS/BJP administration wants to remove the term ‘secular’ and the mandatory provisions for reservation out of the constitution so a ‘hindu state’ declaration becomes feasible and constitutionally valid.
Some states where opposition parties are holding power are not voting in favor of such amendments. RSS/BJP wants to change the rules of game so it can win without having to fight the opposition.
This is the story behind the ongoing efforts towards convincing everyone on delimitation.
The reality is that no parliamentarian ever spends sufficient time in their constituency and the citizens are not going to see them even after the borders of the constituencies are modified.
This ongoing effort to reduce the power of opposition is supported by those who are against reservation and in favor of hindu rashtra.
When the nation slides into secessionist debates and subsequent consequences, these supporters of delimitation will get identified and branded. They will have a much darker future unless they escape to EU/ME. Their children and grandchildren will face the ‘because of your parents/grandparents’ backlash for decades to come.
The past decade since 2014 has shown that the repercussions of similar nature (since 1947) hasn’t taught the much needed lesson to those who need it. This only means the country is getting primed for season-2 but this time, it will not just be critique and isolation focusing on the ‘ism’ alone. The one’s who make up the ‘ism’ will face the wrath of the natives. The collateral damage will also remain active for at least a century as the right to coexist will remain the basis of the argument for such a retaliation.
Remember, nobody remains in power forever and the enablers of such stakeholder groups never remained in the same country forever.
If you see staunch right wingers flaunting their golden visas to Dubai or similar for-good-escapades to foreign lands, then you are aware of the relevant evidence. It comes down to your choice of perusing them and digesting the details. Mere denial will not confirm the safety of your future generations, especially if you are in favor of the RSS/BJP socio-political policies.
Brace for impact. It is many years out but still, brace for impact.
We can never predict the inflection point and subsequent escalation of hostilities endangering the union. What we can be sure of is that RSS/BJP will be responsible for that.
Best regards,
