BJP sharpens ideological offensive to counter Opposition narrative
· India · Indian Express, Hindustan Times
The BJP is intensifying its narrative battle against the Opposition INDIA bloc, branding them as anti-national and anti-Hindu to secure its core voter base. Union Home Minister Amit Shah challenged the Opposition to discuss the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Parliament during a Uttar Pradesh BJP meeting on October 30, 2026. The party has launched padyatras and public forums across India, including six padyatras in Uttar Pradesh led by leaders like Nitin Nabin, J P Nadda, Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Yogi Adityanath from November 3 to 5, 2026. A section of BJP leaders fears the SIR campaign has moved beyond urban discourse and pushed the ruling alliance out of its comfort zone.
