Christian Community in Maharashtra Faces Difficult Choices in Upcoming Elections

The Christian community in Maharashtra faces a challenging situation in the upcoming elections, with the BJP’s promise to implement an anti-conversion law and deny minority quotas creating a sense of unease. Despite the lack of Christian candidates fielded by major parties, community leaders are urging members to vote in large numbers. Concerns about the anti-conversion law, economic inequality, lack of jobs, and the deterioration of democratic institutions are driving the community’s voting decisions. While expressing disappointment with the exclusion of Christian candidates by major parties, the community is seeking to vote for parties that uphold the Constitution and address their concerns.
