South First Interview with BJP National General Secretary CT Ravi

CT Ravi, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s National General Secretary talks to Anusha Ravi Sood in this South First exclusive. From distancing BJP from remission to Bilkis Bano's rapists to holding "global Islamic mindset" responsible for communal tensions in India, the Hindutva hardliner reiterates the BJP's ideological position. CT Ravi in this frank conversation defends his call for encounter and bulldozers following the murder of Karnataka BJP worker Praveen Nettaru and insists that Hindutva is Indianness. The only time CT Ravi smiled in this conversation was when he was asked if he was aiming for the post of Chief Minister of Karnataka.
