You're going back and forth on this. My first post already explained by POV on this. What you've quoted above is citing the reason why I think 80% of the voters don't give a damn about the plight of minorities as long as their needs are taken care of. > > I'm sure it is.

Again, you're going back and forth. So now you admit they had a bad campaign which is the reason I cited in my initial post. > > I would be interested to hear what you think the BJP will do to > > Muslims/other religions if they come to power. > > With an overwhelming majority, > Exactly what they did in Ayodhya, mangalore, hubli, mumbai, gujrat, > malegaon, hyderabad, etc etc. Right. Like I tried to point out in another post, the BJP having an overwhelming majority (and wanting to get elected again) and given their ties with the Sangh, I would think they could rein them in more effectively. This is again my POV, but then it seems logical. Kiran
