Elections are being held in Karnataka and when elections are being held in any state, such issues can be called very fertile issues from the point of view of elections.
The issue on which the film is made has been a very old topic in BJP’s agenda. And you must have seen that BJP governments in various states have made laws against illegal or inducement conversions.
When this film came, the BJP was saying that a certain class of women in the country, a certain class of people get people converted by persuasion, so this film has been supporting them in one way or the other.
PM Modi said about ‘The Kerala Story’
The Prime Minister himself said that looking at the misfortune of the country, Congress is seen standing with terrorist tendencies and those with such tendencies have been making political nexus with them from behind the scenes.
So in a way, this film can be seen as a debate on BJP’s stand against Congress, which has been the agenda and I do not see anything unexpected in what has happened today.
