The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) under Prime Minister Narendra Modi is making strategic efforts to win over India s religious minorities, Muslims and Christians, despite its Hindutva agenda. With a focus on outreach and development, the BJP aims to secure votes from diverse communities, targeting specific regions and addressing concerns through various campaigns.
Guwahati: Assam Trinamool Congress president Ripun Bora on Tuesday alleged that the BJP was stirring up emotions by indulging in religious polarisatio.
While silence on communal matters may help opposition parties avoid immediate polarisation in favour of electoral dividends, it runs the risk of making them look redundant and irrelevant.
