Why BJP stood firm when Kshatriyas protested in Gujarat

Kshatriya protests in Gujarat, particularly against Rajya Sabha member Parshottam Rupala, have not significantly impacted BJP's electoral strategies. These agitations were brought under control once two of the three key people behind them — Hardik Patel and Alpesh Thakor — joined BJP. The party's focus on consolidating Patidar support and uniting lower castes minimizes the threat posed by the ongoing caste-related agitation.
