Political activist Sudhindra Kulkarni, who once worked closely with former Prime Minister A. B. Vajpayee and BJP stalwart L. K. Advani, is now a bitter critic of the BJP. He is touring Karnataka as part of efforts to unite the opposition ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
In an interview with The Hindu, he sought to demolish the BJP’s main plank of ‘double engine government’ by arguing that it is opposed to the spirit of the Constitution that describes India as a union of States.
