Reply to Pyotr Periyar Pandey

Was the former president of BJP, Venkaiah Naidu a Brahmin? Was Bangaru Laxman a Brahmin? Is the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Damordas Modi a Brahmin? Is Yeddyurappa, CM of Karnataka a Brahmin? Raman Singh of Chattisgarh isn’t a Brahmin either. Uma Bharti who was one of the most vocal voices in BJP was a Lodhi Rajput. Lal Krishna Advani is a Sindhi. Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and Syed Shahnawaz Hussain are Muslims. This is just the tip of the iceberg and to say that BJP is ruled by Brahmins doesn’t make sense at all.

Jathkesha posts a response to Pyotr Periyar’s fastidious, punctilious and methodical research on the The Great Brahminical Conspiracy.

Thanks for the link! It is an honour to be linked on Desipundit.

However, this post is in the category of humour just as Pyotr Periyar Pandey’s. So, please add it to the humour category as well.

Thanks.

Sorry Jatkesha. Only major research work done by Dr. Acharya Somuchidononanda Pandey, Dr. Valentina Demetrieva Pandey, and their twenty two children fall into humor category.

In the 80s and 90s new MLAs and ministers paid a few ‘party men’ to shout “hail! the next chief minister” when these MLAs arrived.

Muthukaruppan types also paid a few opposition members to stand up and say in the assembly “even Mr. Muthukaruppan would become an excellent chief minister”.

An opposition part for Pandey is similar.
