[Reader-list] An appeal on the eve of Forthcoming elections.

[anupam chakravartty]

Dear Rajen,

It is unfortunate that your opinions sound like Narendra Modi's recent
speech clearly representing the BJP opinion. Kindly do not forward such
propaganda in this list trying to manufacture consent among the reader's by
turning a blind eye toward right wing violence and their project of
destablising india.
