* Fearing public anger over his failures, Mr. Modi has attempted to whip up religious sentiments and resolved to hate speech to avoid an imminent defeat. Hate and discrimination are the real guarantees of Modi. The EC (Election Commission of India) has shamelessly abandoned even a semblance of neutrality.
* The socio-economic caste census promised by the I.N.D.I.A. bloc is a remedy to create an egalitarian society that is long overdue. It is sad that the Prime Minister is twisting it and depriving, socially disadvantaged communities of their due share in education, jobs, and seats of power.
