Devegowda wants to ratchet up 'secular' noise after enjoying power for 20 months.
People are not fool either. This 'secular' glue is oppurtunism and precisely these sorts of application, as well abuse Hindu Sensitibilities (No Lord Rama existed) and pamper muslims (Sachar, POTA withdrawl etc) which are destroying 'principled' secularism of (say) Nehru.
CPIM is most communal party. To them, anything Hindu is communal, while rallying minority religiously for vote is secular!
