Unease in BJP, allies over crackdown on protesters as government signals outreach
Unease has emerged within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies following a police crackdown on protesters in Delhi, which caught the ruling party off guard. Union Health Minister J P Nadda's visit to injured protesters and a meeting with protest leaders signal the government's willingness to engage in dialogue. The BJP faces internal dissent over its handling of the situation, particularly after Rahul Gandhi's unexpected sit-in outside Prime Minister Modi's residence.
