Newsclick Production, December 9,2014

Newsclick interviewed Subhash Gatade on recent spurt of communal incidents in Delhi and there implications. Subhash thinks that the controversial statement and communal incidents are part of a game plan planned by BJP to win elections in Delhi. The areas they have targeted have voted for Aam Aadmi Party in last assembly elections and BJP aims to make road into it through polarization. On the question of credibility of secular forces in creating resistance to the communal tactics, Subhash feels that they were not ready to take on the majority and hence they failed. He thinks that though people are raising questions on the economic policies of the government, soon they will also resist the communal plan of BJP.
