The 90-year-old economist continued by criticising the imprisonment of several prominent figures without charge or trial.Nobel laureate Amartya Sen mocked the BJP leadership on Wednesday, saying that the results of the most recent Lok Sabha election show that India is not a “Hindu Rashtra.” He asserts that one must be “politically open-minded,” particularly considering that India is a secular nation with a secular constitution.”I don’t think it’s right to turn India into a Hindu Rashtra.The election results have demonstrated that India is more than just a “Hindu Rashtra,” Sen told the reporters, as cited by news agency PTI.
With 240 seats won in the recently held general elections, the BJP became the single largest party. Nonetheless, it failed to secure the simple majority threshold of 272 in the 543-member Lok Sabha. As a result, the BJP started to rely on its partners, the TDP of N Chandrababu Naidu and the JD(U) of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, to form the government at the federal level. The INDIA group of the opposition got 234 seats, while the Congress secured 99 seats.Every election, we always want to see a shift…Some of the former (BJP-led central government) practices, such as enlarging the wealth divide and imprisoning individuals without charge or trial, are still in place. That ought to end, he declared.S
