"Day by day, the BJP government seems to be getting more desperate... They are resorting to desperate measures that cross all acceptable limits. The BJP has been facing major setbacks, even in places where they claim to enjoy tremendous support...

There's a new found resistance against the BJP that stems from simmering resentment, protests and opposition towards such arbitrary acts. In short, there's an anti-BJP movement cropping up at the national level," he told this newspaper in an interview.
