On August 22, 2025, Rajeshwar Singh, the BJP MLA representing Sarojini Nagar in Lucknow, sharply criticized the Congress party on social media. He asserted that the Congress has long been the “mother of appeasement politics”, citing its history of legitimizing communal politics prior to India’s independence and embedding it into the national framework post-1947.
Singh’s remarks spotlight the escalating ideological conflict between the BJP and Congress, particularly over their respective approaches to community and religious politics in contemporary India.
