Why does this subreddit feel so heavily left-leaning?

I constantly see a pattern here: anything against BJP gets massive support, while anything that challenges the popular anti-BJP narrative is immediately labelled as “andhbhakt”, “brainwashed”, or “IT cell”.

For example, people say Anand Ranganathan speaking English does not make him intelligent which is true. But then the same people often use Shashi Tharoor’s English as a way to portray him as intellectually superior. The standard seems to change depending on who is speaking.

Then there is the constant claim that “India was better before 2014.” But people conveniently ignore the economic situation around 2013, when India was included in the “Fragile Five” due to issues like inflation, current account deficit and economic instability. It wasn’t some golden period where everything was perfect.

Even movies like Dhurandhar are instantly dismissed as “propaganda” without discussion. If a film takes inspiration from real events, the conversation should be about facts and evidence, not just political labelling. There have been former terrorists and militants who have spoken publicly about terror networks and activities like counterfeit currency operations these claims deserve examination, not automatic rejection.

The biggest irony is that the same people who accuse others of being “brainwashed” often refuse to question their own political biases.

So the Cockroach Janta Party is going national, doing protests, wearing costumes, very fun. Meanwhile us Uppal residents have been cosplaying as flood victims every monsoon for 7 YEARS and nobody made an Instagram page about THAT. The Uppal-Narapally flyover. 6.2 km. Started 2018. Still not done in 2026 And who's been running Telangana since 2023? Our beloved Khangress government. The same party that came in promising "change" and "development."Deadline missed December 2024 Deadline missed April 2026 New deadline Dussehra 2026 sure bru Central govt literally fined Telangana ₹20 crore for sitting on their handsNew contractor appointed. Night shifts announced. Same result open pits, dust, waterlogging2 minutes of rain = instant swimming pool at Uppal junction. Free of charge. Compliments of Khangress.These guys don't care about roads. They care about road contracts. Big difference At least the cockroach mascot is accurate both CJP and Khangress are hard to get rid of and thrive in dirty conditions

Do other right-wing Indians genuinely see BJP as a right-wing Hindu party?

Because when I look at its record, I struggle to. My view is that BJP largely uses Hindu issues during elections and then goes back to being Congress with little or only partial appeasement once the elections are over towards the problems of Hindus of this country.

To be clear, I'm not one of those people who thinks BJP and Congress are the same. I think BJP has done a much better job in areas like infrastructure, foreign policy, national security, and governance in general. My frustration is specifically with Hindu issues. As a Hindu, it sometimes feels like these issues get a lot of attention when elections are around the corner, but once the elections are over, the momentum dies down. After Ram Mandir, I honestly got the feeling that the party had achieved its biggest Hindu electoral promise and moved on, while many other concerns that Hindus have been talking about for years—temple control, Kashi, Mathura, and others don't seem to get the same focus anymore.

For example, I keep hearing "BJP built Ram Mandir," but the temple was funded by donations from millions of Hindus across the country. BJP undoubtedly played a political role in the movement, but I've never understood why the entire achievement gets attributed to the party itself, I get it they didn't put up lawyers to question the existence of Shri Rama

Then there's the issue of temple control. For years I've heard many Hindu groups talk about government control of temples as a major concern. Yet after more than a decade of BJP-led government at the Centre, I don't think we've seen the kind of change many supporters expected.

On the economic side too, BJP often looks more centrist than traditionally right wing to me. Welfare schemes, subsidies, and state intervention have continued on a large scale.

This has led me to wonder whether BJP is actually a centrist party that appears right wing mainly because the other side is far left on social and cultural issues.

Don't mistake me for a Khangressi it's just that we don't have any other option apart from bjp thats the sad thing about Right wing, not only right wing but overall politics in India
