Yes. BJP is not sectarian. All this while, they were just pretending to be sectarian! They just redraw their societal boundaries, as and when they find it convenient, to garner vote banks, only during elections.
Being at the left of center, Congress had always won elections since independence, as the only votes they could not get was the extreme right wingers. Even foxy brahmins voted for Congress, before BJP came into the scene. So, BJP had to come up with a better vote bank idea, no matter how lethal it was. Timely came the Ram temple idea. This carved a boundary around the biggest vote bank in India,the Hindus - Poor, Uneducated, emotional. Perfectly suited to be hoodwinked. It did give BJP a momentous success, and took away a million innocent lives. They aren't bothered. Once their agenda was realized, they never spoke a word about the temple, as they wanted their rule to be the most peaceful one in Indian history.
Unfortunately, comes the election every 5 years. And so comes to life the sleeping devil. This time, they want to carve out every possible vote bank - Women, North Indians, Urbans, Educated, now..Secular, and of course, the Hindus, who they think are their political base, by keeping the Ram Sethu issue alive. People will never know that the Ram Sethu project was first proposed during BJP rule.
Looking at all these...yeah, BJP is not sectarian. But just cunning and oppurtunistic, like its Brahmin leads.
