The Cockroach Janata Party has criticized the Karnataka BJP for a controversial social media post that referred to individuals as “Dimagi Naxals.” The party claims the ruling BJP is using violent imagery against those it has labeled as Naxals. They further warned that such rhetoric could be interpreted as an incitement to “mass genocide.”
They seem to have lost the plot! “Are we really witnessing a ruling party openly calling for mass genocide? We cannot simply brush this off. CJP spokesperson Saurav Das also criticised the Karnataka BJP over the post, accusing the ruling party of openly threatening violence against young people and questioning its use of such imagery in political discourse. Reacting to the post, Das wrote on X, “The ruling party is openly threatening to shoot the country’s youngsters dead! Pure evil.
In another post, Das said he was “saddened” to see what he described as the “world’s largest political party” consumed by hatred, alleging that it was “calling for MASS MURDER of a generation” that questions the government and seeks a better system. “Actually, a little saddened to see “the world’s largest political party” be drunk on so so so much hate that they don’t see any problem in calling for MASS MURDER of a generation that believes in questioning those in government and simply demanding a better system and a brighter future for themselves,” Das added. The controversy follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Independence Day address, in which he said that while Naxals who had taken up arms in the jungles had been eliminated, there were also “dimagi naxals” in various parts of the country who needed to be “identified, and isolated. “For years, people with Maoist thinking were there in public life; even in government committees, this thinking had affected various institutions and initiatives,” PM Modi said from the ramparts of the Red Fort.
