NEFARIOUS VOTE BANK POLITICS OF CONVENIENCE AND OPPORTUNISM !
Just look at the manner in which the BJP has sought to derive political capital from the alleged “exodus” of Hindu families from Kairana in western Uttar Pradesh. Its local MP first claims that Hindu villagers are being targeted by “Muslim gangs” and provides a list of families who have left their homes out of fear in the last year. When it transpires that the list contains names of people who have left for reasons like jobs, health and education several years ago, when a number of those named are still found in their homes or, in some instances, are dead, the MP backtracks to say the problem is one of law and order and should not be seen in communal terms.
