Jaffer , Let me answer that question for you with out BAIS . The answer in Gujarat is a big no . Modi did not oppose the Muslims, for him they remained irrelevant ! No Muslim Candidate from the BJP , No devolopment in Muslim areas , no agenda for Muslims. In 2004 under Vajapee and may the late Pramod Mahajan the BJP tried to win Muslim votes. You know what happened the Muslims trashed the NDA and they lost power. On a different note do you beleive that the Congress supports Muslims ? If you do let me tell you they dont ! They want your votes and that too when that is big enough to win. In Gujarat they also played what the media has admitted was soft Hindutva. Finally there is this cliche of Divide and Rule that the British practiced ! Historically when were the Hindus and Muslims of this sub- continent ever united that the British needed to divide. We were divided and the British merely used that division to thier advantange. All politics is vote bank politics .... and the only one who was not into this was Mahatma Gandhi.
