In this Episode, Dr Parakala speaks about how UP CM Yogi Adityanath's Abba Jaan remark was so very predictable, and how it simply followed a pattern that is now quite normal under the New BJP. He also traces the origins of such dog whistle remarks, calculated to summon the base instincts of hatred in people, to the past two decades which also coincide with the meteoric rise of the political career of our present Prime Minister. This period also saw the shaping of the New BJP.
