Watch | Modi Focusing on ‘Hindu-Muslim’ As It's Best Way to Avoid Campaigning on His 10-year Record

Professor Zoya Hasan in conversation with Siddharth Varadarajan says that corruption as brought out by the electoral bonds scam is a big issue which has unsettled the BJP.

In The Wire Primetime With Siddharth, political scientist, Professor Emerita, JNU, Zoya Hasan talks to The Wire’s Founding Editor and explores why Prime Minister Modi is going on harping on Shakti, Muslim League, Mughal, and Mutton.

The show also discusses how Modi’s big election focus is stoking Hindu versus Muslim divides, as he is running shy of campaigning on his ten-year record which has recorded highest levels of unemployment and alarming levels of price rise.

The misuse of central agencies is puzzling and the Modi government may have overplayed their hand. Welcoming defectors accused of corruption in the party is mystifying. “The washing machine metaphor is catching up,” says professor Hasan.
