if there are 100 voters, and in them if 15% are muslims, u pretty well know that they wont for BJP. so appease them so that they will vote for congress. and in rest of 85 think if 25 wont vote. leaving with 60. of the 60 if say atleast 15 vote for congress then they will get 30% votes. and in remaining 45 there are atleast 3 parties looking for share which includes BJP. just think BJP is able to get 25 out of 45. that leaves BJP 2nd to congress which gets 30%. now can u understand the appeasement???????????
