Gujaratis support Modi because he is the only leader who stands out today in the state. Other parties are unable to project a leader from Gujarat who can stand as tall as Modi is. I do not agree that all Hindus vote on communal lines. If it was so, Kerala would have had a few MLAs of BJP by now. Even when Babri Masjid issue was at its peak, Hindus did not support BJP in Kerala because they had better alternatives. Modi can not be defeated by 'imported' leaders like Sonia or Rahul. Unless a viable alternative emerges in Gujarat or in Gujarat BJP, Modi will continue.
