'India doesn't tolerate differences, it celebrates': Sasikanth Senthil, Congress MP | EXCLUSIVE

[@Trichambaram]

Being a dalit from Tamil Nadu, Mr Senthil has a great clarity on the real politics that should be the backbone of this country. That has been gradually disappearing from the Congress politics after the first generation of Congressmen. I hope that with the presence of persons like Senthil, Congress will change and embrace the progressive politics of Ambedkar and Nehru. Our Parliament is also simultaneously changing with the arrival of activists like Chandrasekhar Azad Ravan. We want more of them to clense our polity of the toxic elements that has been eating into the vitals of our country.

​@gomathakamadhenu1607 Shut ur propaganda. Tell me 10 things he did in 10 years. 🤡🤡

[@Trichambaram]

@gomathakamadhenu1607 Narasimha Rao was not a person without any blemishes. Rather, he's primarily responsible for the violence that erupted following the illegal demolition of Babri Majid, which was the beginning of the Hindutva fascism that has been sweeping the country. He had no qualm in harboring ill will towards minorities, though he tried to conceal it to some extent, given the apparent secular politics of the Congress party.

[@bell8066]

​@gomathakamadhenu1607Narasimha Rao was one of the worst prime minister of congress. Without Manmohan he is nothing.

[@humaarmurugesh]

[@sibichandrasekaran9637]

TamilNadu & Thiruvallur really proud for electing such a strong ,efficient person who is very humble, knowledgeable parliamentarian

[@evanswatts9071]

I dream RG as PM and Senthil as Cabinet Minister. He is humble honest person.

[@gopalsoornahalli7634]

Time will come 👍

[@pranay3582]

RG should lead the Congress, but public arena is something he can't. Especially when you're dealing with RSS/BJP. Look at Mr. Modi, even if he says something stupid people listen to him and cheer on.

[@user-ju1fm8rn1g]

Sentil can be but raha can never ever, can even ever congress have majority on its own?

[@thelmagodinho9701]

​@@pranay3582it happens because we have educated literate donkeys too amongst the illeterates accademically and the real illeterates with no educational background. That's why we have a useless political ruler we find in Modi

[@thelmagodinho9701]

Mr. Senthil speaks so well and is so mature in his presentation.

[@mastertalks8039]

Another gem of person for India. We (Srilankan) dont not have a single politician in his calibre. Congratulations Senthil Brother. Make India proud.

[@danielvictor3418]

We all need to strive hard and consistently to build character and sensitivities to truth, justice and righteousness in our homes, in our schools, in colleges, in our professions, in government, in our businesses and everywhere. Let’s work towards it relentlessly.

[@Chuchn6419]

Superb sentence dear. The same thought used to pop in my mind several times as an Indian citizen living in India for more than a half century, “ we don’t tolerate differences, we celebrate “… super man. It pains me when I see my people of this country are being injected with venomous communal politics and hatred and vengeance. The present regime under Modi Sha is splitting our India, dividing the society, putting a dagger into the heart of mother India.

[@natarajamnarayanaswamy5329]

Yes we celebrate the difference.why onus is only on hindus to celebrate. And let others have their way. We never threw stones on the muharram procession.

[@santhakumarpalaniyandi4733]

Really i wonder, from the low background his rise in a disciplined way leaving his luxurious job, he is a true Nationalist with pure heart and intention to fight for social justice to the oppressed and downtrodden society . Hats off to his zeal in pure politics.

[@raghualike7962]

Really you are 100 percent correct .he had worked in our districts very kind and humanitarian

[@sukumarvenkatraman]

Congratulations Mr Shashikanth Senthil. You have echoed the state of politics happening in the country and the best part is without using harsh words you have conveyed it to the viewers. If you could achieve this thanks to the eco system in the state of Tamil Nadu, this wouldn't be possible under a Bulldozer government. They would have killed you in the first place. Anyhow you have got a beautiful opportunity to enter the parliament, make your mark and stamp the Periyar ideology efficiently.

[@RadhaKrishnan-xn1zq]

[@worldcitizen1745]

He deserves a lot more attention than Anamalai.

[@gopalsethuraman6454]

Please do not compare Attukutti with Senthil.

[@bell8066]

That's is the reason people elected sasikant not Annamalai. We Tamilians always wise enough to know the truth beyond media propaganda.

[@daredevil30000]

Sasikanth Senthil prefers to remain low profile, unlike Annamalai and I think that’s fine since he manages the war rooms of Congress during elections.

[@mohanvenkatesan4699]

Ask him to Debate Annamalai... Lets see if has that guts...

[@gangadharhiremath7306]

Not comparable at all.Annamalai is a Hindu supremacist pig and Senthil is humanitarian supreme soul. *Annamalai is a darkness and Senthil is light.*

@gomathakamadhenu1607 why people like you fall for the cheap politics of bjp, In a democracy like india with huge diversity votes should be prioritised on ideology, schemes brought on year on year, looking at facts & numbers with upliftment of people rather than who is governing the system as simple as that but people are get brainwashed & polarized on different terms. Bjp's social engineering in providing positions can't last longer as they don't offer any other most required benefits which other parties would offer. Nobody can stop Obcs, sc & ST in acquiring equal representation with land, jobs & business as they constitute a huge chunk of india. Buckle up for india with zero shudras and panchamas in the future.

[@meerak90]

@@madhansimha8891The ignorance of you is stunning!!! People like you fall for the cheap politics of Con gress by being dumb as a rock. If Con gress was serious about eradicating caste they had sixty years to do it!! Rather they made it deeply entrenched with reservations! They turned Muslims into vote bank and treat Hinduism as second class. ALL the problems we have todays starts from the rubbish politics of Con gress that ran for decades. I don't think you even have a brain to be washed!! If you had one you would also remember the corruption and scandals which made people turn to the BJP.

[@sudarshanr7040]

Modi, till now, has not been averse to failure. He was Chief Minister of Gujarat for 12 years and Prime Minister for 10 years. He has always enjoyed the pleasures of position, power, luxurious life and enjoying foreign tours & benefits. Modi has refrained from facing any controversial incidents (Chinese encroachments, Mizoram riots, natural disasters/riots in any state and many more). Courage and skill are necessary to face such dilemmas. Now a person with such a mindset does not even imagine failure. Moreover, the memories of big scandals and cruel revenge on opponents for so many years make him more distressed and he is struggling to face the present situation. Because of that, his confused state is evident from talking about everything that seems to be untrue.

[@Aws1962]

Is the following attributes are the essentials to be a great leader. 1. No courage / skill / tactics / talent to face / tackle any burning issue. 2. Cannot boast of having solved any crisis. 3. Ignore / remain unnoticed of any crisis. 4. No courage to face Parliament. 5. To avoid facing Parliament / burning issues go on foreign tour. 6. No consultation / discussion on any matter . Independent / sole decisions leading to failure. 7. Lack of subject knowledge/ statistics to face Parliament , press , public. 8. Disrespect / ignore seniors, opposition leaders, experts. 9. Talks irrelevant, expert in DIVERTING burning issues. 10. Skillful marketing / boosting personnel image. 11. Enjoying luxurious life. Pretending to be leading simple life. 12. Expert in indirect corruption. 13. Always talks indecently, hurting others who opposes him. 14. No magnanimity, generosity in dealing opponents.

[@sudhaanandan2044]

Whole of India has been talking of Annamalai. But Tamilnadu never recognised him. Senthil has been recognised by people of Tamilnadu. This is how people in TN perceive politics and religion. Here we never mingle them. Party like BJP say as TN separtist.Asserting our rights is not separatism.

[@Aasheenvlogs]

Sasikanth Senthil Sir deserves this post n entry. He is capable of contributing much more to Congress. My personal opinion is instead of focusing his attention in state politics, he has to focus on National politics. That's very important as on date to keep jumlas in the place they r now. And sooner they need to step down. Esply, now in Andhra n Bihar. He's good at surveys n candidate selection. Wish he does this n submits the report to RAHULJI!

Even after more than 76 years of independence, India is still very much feudalistic. The BJP being a party which always lay emphasis on our socalled great past which was nothing but brahminism with the majority of Hindus living a life worse than cats and dogs, India could never progress in the real sense and become an egalitarian society unless the political discourse is re-drawn and we muster the courage to call a spade a spade.
