The theme of the thread seems to have turned into 'since Congress is bad, BJP, therefore, has every right to be worse'. Congress did Sikh riot of '84. Therefore Gujrat riot is fine. Congress panders to the minorities. Therefore it is alright for BJP to pander to the majority.

- 'Fack off. Your fly is open'
Actually that is a wrong understanding on your part.
My contention is if BJP becomes communal by pandering to the majority, the Congress is equally communal as it panders to the minority because both Hinduism and Islam/Christianity are religions.
There is no point in saying pandering to one religion is better than pandering to others. That is hypocrisy.
I mean if a communal dumbshyt like Asaddudin Owaisi whose party thrives on whipping up communal frenzy among a section of the Hyderabad city can be termed 'secular' and he can go on National television given lectures on secularism, I wonder what has 'secularism' come to in India !!
Another example is PDP (Kerala) which is hailed as a secular front but whose members are convicted of serial bomb blasts in Coimbatore. Many parties like this may be in North also, but since I am from South I am giving examples from here.
Yet another is the case of Popular Front of India (yes the same radical outfit that severed the hand of one T.T.Joseph). They are still out there competing in Kerala elections and winning seats. I did not see any 'secular' media or parties make a hue or cry or decry them as communal other than some passing comments. Why ?? the all powerful 'Muslim' vote and the fear of antagonizing it.
It is this hypocrisy among a section of the media and the people calling one section as communal and conveniently praising the other as Secular that is disgusting.
Also another thing is the trial by media in the case of Modi. Let the courts convict him. Then they can hound for his blood. But before the court can do anything why try him in Kangaroo media courts ? And even if he was found guilty the most he could be charge with is Administrative lapses which in itself is not something new to India.
