It is no secret that if the
BJP is voted to power with absolute majority
they would take all the efforts possible
to implement the hard core Hindutva agenda, especially the cultural part
of it and would not mind displeasing the minorities. It is true that their manifesto published so late is “seen being both modern and traditional at the same
time,” as rightly pointed out in the
editorial , “Hindutva confronts modernity.” Is it not a desperate attempt
to harvest the votes of undecided
minorities and secular minded non minorities
who are utterly disappointed with the performance of the congress led
UPA governments , by posing as a party interested only in promoting “socio,
economic and cultural life” through their manifesto? It is also meant to
appease their coalition partners . How modern and traditional they are going to
be if voted to power, will depend whether they are going to have brutal or
absolute majority or form a
coalition government .
