The problem is that they don't make up enough of the voters to win it for them. BJP is still the clear leader in urban areas because the Congress is dead, and SP and BSP scare the hell out of them. But in the villages, that type of politics works. As Bihar and UP become more urbanized, casteist parties like JD(U), RJD, LJP, SP and BSP will be crowded out by the BJP and Congress. We can only hope this process is fast, because such regional parties have no right to dictate national politics.
