Ranjith, you are not aware of the facts in indian voting pattern. The muslims everywhere vote as a block and their vote is there for consolidated. The majority community never votes as a block and cannot provide a credible majority vote back. There are around 100 constituencies in india which has 25 or more % of muslim votes. In any election due to multicornered contest, a party can win by getting as low as 35% votes, of which the muslim block can give 25% itself. thats why politicians pamper them. The only vote back for hindus originated this time in UP where the brahmins voted as a block for BSP along with a solid dalit vote bank of mayawati. Please go through the facts.
