‘Ruling party calling for mass genocide?’ CJP slams BJP over ‘Dimagi Naxals’ meme featuring KGF scene

The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) vehemently criticized the BJP over a social media post targeting "Dimagi Naxals," alleging that the ruling party was using violent imagery to call for mass genocide. The CJP spokesperson, Saurav Das, expressed deep disappointment, warning that the post was an open threat against young people questioning the government and advocating for change.

Drawing a comparison with Nazi Germany, Das called the post "literally what Hitler did with Jews." The BJP used a scene from the KGF Chapter 2 movie, depicting their state units as the shooters and their rivals as "Dimagi Naxals." This incident has reignited a debate over the use of labels like "Naxal" and "anti-national" in political discourse.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had previously warned of "dimagi naxals" in various parts of the country, emphasizing the need to identify and isolate those with Maoist thinking.
