after the dilli riots and shaheen bagh, the jehadis have been forced to reveal their hand prematurely and having done so due to some hotheads speaking out of turn, they have no options left now but to throw down the gauntletwilliams wrote:6% is a good number. I don't think anyone in BJP is desperate to see a Muslim change of heart. But helps make the point that while BJP does not appease the Muslim community, they don't have a policy of discriminating against them. All the development work has equal benefits. Unfortunately more than the Muslims, it is the Hindu sickulars who keep harping that BJP discriminates and acts against the Muslim community. So this is part of the Hindu consolidation if you get me.Prem Kumar wrote:
Not surprised in the least bit. Beats me why many are so desperate to see a Muslim change of heart due to Vikas. There isn't any, nor will there ever be any. Muslim voting percentage for BJP has remained in the 6% ballpark since 2014. Some have a fond hope that Triple Talaq, UCC etc will attract Muslim women's vote towards BJP. Not going to happen.
Hindu consolidation is the only game worth playing. Bheda among opposition where possible.
they are past the point of "appeasement" and are moving quickly down the consolidation path which is forcing a similar reaction from the majority
they are free to riot without fear of blowback only in some states and that space is fast reducing.
the jehadi consolidation as well as the almost complete riot free conduct of the UP elections shows that they need state support to riot and "express" themselves.
That jehadi consolidation has polarized the majority as well, which is not something that they want. states like bengal, jharkhand, kerala use the might of the state to keep the majority subdued but for how long
It is the foolish majority in kerala that keeps the commies in power. They don't seem to have gained anything significant in this blood soaked quid pro quo.
for a "change of heart" you need to have a heart in the first place.
Modi's "saab ka saat" is pandering to a bunch of entitled freeloaders.
It is a form of jizya.
