Modi would behave like a Lalu yadav or Mulayum Singh if he were in a politician in UP/Bihar or even Andra Pradesh,the states ,unlike Gujarat have sizable muslim population ,unlike Gujarat . Modi like any other politician would do whatever needed to get mmaximum votes.
Its so easy to see why Gujarat become the hub/lab of hindutva BJP,and not other states.Moreover even BJP leaders from other states fellow far more liberal approch.
