Ramaswami: The communal riots of 2020 are the opening shot in the BJP’s campaign to retain power in the states where it still rules, and of course at the Centre. With the economy showing no signs of recovery, desperate times call for desperate measures, the people of Delhi be damned. There is no “Hindu side” and “Muslim side” to this violence, just a diabolical political plan to divide the people on communal lines. The riots of 2002 helped make the BJP electorally invincible in Gujarat. The work to bring this vital aspect of the Gujarat model to Delhi has begun in earnest.
