There's a saying, "your enemy's enemy is your friend".
It might be worth speaking to other organisations who are sick of the BKs for whatever reason; from humanistic, socialistic feminist groups, to patriarchal religious groups to find alliances. You need a slightly different message for each one, eg the feminists are against marrying 100s of virgins to a male god spirit.
The most important thing to, and hardest thing I think, is
India is moving up with human and worker rights, it has to crush the old fashioned exploitation out of the BKs, or the BKs out of India.
Don't be an "anti-BK" party, be a "pro-human rights within the BK" party.
Promoting human and worker rights within BKism, and educating them, will Destroy them ... or should we say "Transform them".
I think that should be the motto, "Transforming the Brahma Kumaris".
Or something like, "Protecting Society, by Transforming the Brahma Kumaris".

The most important thing to, and hardest thing I think, is
- a) to make the Brahma Kumaris honest. To make them have some integrity,
b) to stop them and disallow them from claiming to God's only representatives, that they have the monopoly on god.
I think all Hindus would agree with that. It is a Christian/Muslim trait. Of course, they will refuse to do so, therefore it will take public pressure.
And,
c) to stop them misusing traditional terms like "Raja Yoga" and the names of the deities.
Lastly,
d) to force them to impliment a human rights programme for their teachers and followers, e.g. a pension, retirement, holidays, real world training, fair working conditions (ie 8 hours a day, one or two day a week off).
