Gopal Bhargava's 'Kill or Suppress' Remark Ignites Caste Storm in MP Politics

• Former minister Gopal Bhargava's statement about Brahmins being an 'eyesore' and suggesting they be 'killed or suppressed' has sparked a major controversy in Madhya Pradesh.
• The statement was made at a Brahmin community event in Sagar, where Bhargava claimed Brahmins are being systematically marginalized in the constitutional system.
• Bhargava highlighted the declining representation of Brahmins in government and politics, attributing it to their fragmented nature and lack of a unified vote bank.
• He linked the targeting of Brahmins to attacks on Sanatan Dharma, urging the community to unite to protect their faith.
• The controversy is further fueled by past controversial statements from IAS officers regarding the Brahmin community, and the opposition Congress has criticized Bhargava's remarks.
