'The fragmented polity of the country provides space that further divides society and fragments it. It is beneficial to those who are looking for opportunities to get votes.' BJP ideologue Tarun Vijay reacts to Raj Thackeray's assault on north Indians in Maharashtra.
Known for his proximity to Bharatiya Janata Party leaders L K Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, Tarun Vijay is the public face of the RSS.
The absence of Bharatiya Janata Party leader L K Advani at an event to mark 40 years of Emergency, where party chief Amit Shah was the main speaker and organised by a party-affiliated body, set off speculation whether the veteran leader was not invited.
The BJP president said it is parties run by "dictatorial mindset" which can think about bringing Emergency.
