Hate Speech Maharashtra

250107-buldhana
At a public gathering in Buldhana, Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad demeaned voters by accusing them of selling their votes for paltry amounts of money, alcohol, and meat. He shockingly stated, “Even a prostitute is better than that,” displaying an utter lack of respect for both voters, women and marginalised groups. Such derogatory remarks from a public representative not only degrade the dignity of citizens but also highlight the normalisation of casteist and classist language in political discourse." https://cjp.org.in/cjp-maharashtra-surge-in-communal-and-caste-based-violence-with-six-incidents-in-january-2025/
