A concerted attempt to undermine him surfaced, in Satyam’s words, only 12 hours before the poll. It seems that false allegations linking him to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and calling him a “fascist” were planned to damage his candidacy.
Satyam Surana claims that people with political intentions against the governing BJP government in India are behind these attacks, characterizing it as a carefully orchestrated hate campaign. He describes incidents when his campaign posters were destroyed and vandalized, with disparaging words and images directed at him specifically.
Despite his efforts to address these issues and lodge complaints, Satyam expresses frustration at being marginalized and silenced. Disseminated around LSE student organizations, the messages portraying him as radical and intolerant, are currently destroying his image.
