The BJP has emerged victorious in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh with the party snatching power from the Congress in the latter two.
In Madhya Pradesh, the BJP is coming to power for the fifth time in the last 20 years except for 2018 when the Congress managed to win by a wafer thin margin. Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s women centric schemes coupled with Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia’s strategy has propelled the party to victory. The BJP has also snatched power from the Congress-ruled Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan and has made impressive gains in Telangana. BJP’s Katipally Venkata Ramana, emerged as the dark horse slaying both sitting CM K Chandrasekhar Rao and CM aspirant Revanth Reddy, in Kamareddy in Telangana.
With the BJP’s landslide victory in the Hindi heartland states, the I.N.D.I. Allies Congress and DMK have gone on a tirade against the people of these states.
Congress, DMK, Leftists Stoke Separatism
Congress supporters and leaders have been peddling a divisive rhetoric pitting north-India and south-India.
Praveen Chakravarty, Chairman of the Data Analytics department of Congress party appointed by Rahul Gandhi shared a picture titled “South Vs North” with a caption saying that the boundary line is getting thicker and clearer straight of its ally DMK’s playbook.
He has now deleted this tweet after social media outrage.
Another Congress youth functionary from Tamil Nadu called for cutting off the southern states from the rest of India. She said “Just cut us off man.. South is for us. North, go wherever/however you want!”
In another tweet, she dehumanized the people of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh for voting BJP saying “Are you guys humans?”
Senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram’s son and Congress MP from Tamil Nadu Karti Chidambaram too peddled the north-south divisive rhetoric.
The SOUTH!

Congress MLA from Tamil Nadu JG Prince posted a cryptic tweet saying “Therku” which means “South” in Tamil.

Founding Editor of leftist propaganda portal The Wire too harped on to the North Vs South rhetoric saying that the divide has become sharper with the election results.
North-South divide has become ever sharper with Congress won in Telangana and BJP poised to retain most Hindi states. Now expect ED/IT agencies to be fully deployed in South until Lok Sabha 2024 elections!

In Kerala, Dr. Arun Kumar, Chief Editor at Reporter TV channel, insulted North Indians by stating, ‘North Indians are illiterate!’ on air.
North Indians are illiterate!!
The abusive comments originated from a well-known Malayalam news channel following the resounding victory of the BJP.

DMK Supporting Dravidian Stockists Abuse North Indians
Deputy Secretary of DMK Student Wing Poornasangeetha Chinnamuthu shared a picture of just the southern states of India saying “South India stands united””
YouTube Beautician – turned – MNM functionary turned – DMK functionary Padma Priya, took shared the same picture with the caption “#BJPFreeSouth”

The state deputy secretary of the DMK’s environment wing, had earlier shared a picture with a secessionist undertone, with South Indian states in a different color that said “United States of South India“.
Another rabid Dravidian Stockist DMK supporter with the X handle name “Surya Born To Win” called the north Indian states as “Cow belt states”. He also made racist comments by branding the people living in these states saying “Illiterate, communal bigots don’t want development”.
Surya Born To Win is close to the ruling DMK establishment and is known for spewing venom against Hindus and BJP supporters.
Prabha Raj, a rabid Dravidian Stockist and Congress supporter courted by the likes of leftist-Dravidianist propaganda outlet The News Minute, made hate speech and xenophobic comments against north Indians.
Another trope laden with xenophobia peddled by DMK supporters and Dravidian Stockists is that north Indians come down south for work but go back to their states and vote for BJP.
G Sundarrajan of ‘Poovulagin Nanbargal’ NGO who was appointed by the MK Stalin government as a member of the Climate Action Committee said “They (north Indians) vote for BJP in their states and come back to southern states including Tamil Nadu for work. Your sense of rationale/justice is good.”
அவங்க மாநிலங்களில் பாஜகவிற்கு ஓட்டுப் போடவேண்டியது,
வேலை செய்வதற்கு தமிழ்நாடு உள்ளிட்ட தென்மாநிலங்களுக்கு வந்துவிடவேண்டியது.நல்ல இருக்கு உங்க நியாயம்
கொடுமை!#Election2023 #MadhyaPradeshElections2023 #Chattisgarhelection2023 #RajasthanElection2023

Another DMK propaganda handle which goes by the Dr. Arvind Raja who was recently in news for making casteist abuse and cyberbullying carnatic singer Sivasri Skandaprasad, too peddled the same trope.

DMK supporting handle by the name ‘Journalist Senthil’ wrote in Tamil “I don’t trust the vadakkans (slur for north Indians in Tamil). My sympathies to those tweeted trusting those illiterate religious bigoted dogs. The time has come to think whether south India should be a slave under the vadakkans. 2024 is a life or death struggle.”
The Congress and its I.N.D.I. Ally DMK have been pushing a dangerous rhetoric whenever the BJP wins an election in the northern states or Congress emerges as winner in the southern states for quite some time. The Congress aped the DMK when the party won the Karnataka Assembly elections in 2022.
