Caste dynamics are a crucial factor in India's politics, influencing alliances and strategies. Rajya Sabha member Parshottam Rupala recently faced controversy over his comments on Kshatriyas, but the BJP has supported him. Caste-based movements, like Patel quota agitations and Dalit protests, have reshaped Gujarat's political landscape. Despite Kshatriya protests against Rupala, the BJP has stood by him, highlighting its focus on non-Kshatriya votes. The party's ability to navigate caste dynamics remains central to its electoral strategy in Gujarat.
