Karnataka muslims in a delimma whom to vote
by Habeebur Rahman on May 07, 2008 05:28 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The major parties specialy Congress and Janatadal S have been using muslms as vote banks.Congress will never shun the corrupt muslim politicians like CK Jaffer Shareef who was in power for such a long and didnt do anything even 0.001% for karnatak muslims,other muslim leaers sail in same boat.
No complaints for BJP for not feilding any muslim candidates,even it feilds muslim candidates whats the use ?The so called muslim leaders will never do anything for the benefit of their voters,its rather better some Hindu leaders who can think of their devlopment and can work for them.After late Shri Devaraj Urs muslims has not seen any leader who can represent them.Now choice is narrowed and its BSP and Samajvadi party of Bangarappa.BJP missed the bus of garnishing minority votes by making Narendra Modi campaign.Muslims rather will die instead of voting for candidates campained by Modi.

Muslims will never vote for BJP, no matter how many Jinnahs, Advani salutes.

BJP should focus on its core upper caste hindu votes and not antagonize them while not gaining any votes from its desperation for minority votes.

BJP in power in Bihar? It is standing on the crutches of OBC party JDU. In MP, BJP won last elections because of OBC Uma Bharti and wait for next elections, BJP will be wiped out from all of MP. Uttaranchal, I agree that you can survive while focusing on UCs but there also Congress is giving you sleepless nights. Also, Uttaranchal is too small to matter in national politics.

Focus on upper castes will take BJP back to good old days of 1984, when it had only 2 MPs in Lok Sabha.

BJP Should concentrate on all Hindus irrespective of caste. Infact they should work towards abolishing the caste system and working on Hindu unity !! They should work for the survival of the HINDUS!!
