‘Appeasement politics’ divides society, says Fadnavis on Telangana move

In a recent statement, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis, criticized the Congress party's approach in Telangana, labeling it as "appeasement politics." According to Fadnavis, this strategy has historically led to societal divisions, citing the partition of India in 1947 as a prime example. His remarks come amid heightened political activities in Telangana, where the Congress is striving to regain influence. Fadnavis elaborated on how these tactics, which he believes are designed to favor specific groups for electoral gains, continue to fragment communities even in contemporary times. He emphasized that such political maneuvers undermine national unity and create rifts that are challenging to mend. His comments are seen as part of a broader critique of Congress's strategies across various states. As Telangana gears up for elections, Fadnavis's statement adds fuel to the ongoing political debate. The BJP aims to consolidate its position by appealing to a broader voter base, contrasting its policies with those of the Congress. This criticism is likely to intensify as parties vie for influence, highlighting the deep-seated divisions and the crucial role of strategy in shaping electoral outcomes.
