The Story in Brief
Actor-activist Chethan Ahimsa on Saturday announced plans to float a new regional party in Karnataka before January. He criticised existing parties for pursuing narrow agendas like Hindutva and accused them of operating only for personal gain. Ahimsa also targeted Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay and Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, saying their stardom shields them from ground realities. He vowed to oppose the Bidadi township project.
The Indian Opinion
The tendency to blame star power for political success, as Chethan Ahimsa does with Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh leaders, overlooks their grassroots connect. Voters elect based on performance, not just fame. Karnataka already has enough parties; another one risks splitting votes without offering solutions. The real test for Ahimsa's party will be whether it can field credible candidates and articulate clear policies beyond opposing the Bidadi project. Will he release a detailed manifesto before January?
