It is really sad that in Aligarh voting will be on communal lines. Why Hindus & Muslims not vote for a good candidate, instead of voting for someone just on communal line? The news also says "But in Aligarh, Muslims clerics play a dominant role in elections as their advice regarding who the community should vote for rarely goes unheeded". Why people vote enblock based on what the clerics say. Religious people should not be involved in politics and people should also not look towards these persons.

You are correct Ram.That is worst thing about progress of U.P. that people vote on religion and caste line and select useless people who don't even know how to speak.Only God knows when the mind of people in U.P. will change so that they will vote for candidates who can bring development rather than these cheap things.

U r absolutely right Mr Sharma. Its really very sad having deep involvement of religion in the national, state & local politics. People should avoid clerics & must cast their vote on the basis of candidate's or his party's development related agenda !!

VOTE OF hindus for BJP---a communal act and EC must ban BJP---Vote Of MUSLIMS KURMIS YADAVAS DALITS for SP CONG BSP---it is the right of these parties so NO BAN---what a democracy we have---EC is impartial because CHAWLA Election Commissioner was okayed by Congress though he has dubious personal life(read thro his wife) i do not support that bjp should only go for word hindu only but i also seek ban first for Congress who have been poisoning indians for more than 60 yrs and congress communists resulted to formation of dirtiest regional parties like sp bsp dmk aidmk jmm jd rjd and many other antinational parties---these parties wanted to rule like old RAJAs/TALUKDARS and our country has been paying a heavy price--why bjp was forced to exist and ask for hindu votes-ASK Congress as why they always weep for RSS who never preached DIVIDE INDIA but said UNITE INDIA .muslim history is full of violence like others but others moulded whereas muslims still go for a violent life and at least in india it is with support of these so called secular parties---did RSS kill muslims everyday wherever muslims go for violence--hindus may not accept rituals of muslims but they never disallow their worshipping methods and hence no violence--but due to support of secular parties and a tag of minority muslims go for violence against other religions---friends--u have to belive that these secular parties r to be blamed first and then muslims--in india at least we can manage with muslims amicably if these secular parties r banned for ever and then no need of BJP----lalitkumar
