I am impressed with our voters. How much ever it may seem that there is cast combination game in our elections, at the macro level, it is still about development issues. Recent results in Delhi, Rajasthan, and MP etc. are glaring examples. Our fellow citizens know what they are doing - master plan of some of those in BJP to camouflage the communal issue as a terrorism issue backfired. People have gotten over with the communal issue. It is actually very nice that Sharukh Khan mentioning he doesn't feel like a minority. We need more Muslims openly condemning terrorism - this will totally defeat communal politics. We need more dalits opposing cast based reservations - this will totally defeat cast based politics.
Let us not forget the fact that BJP had stormed to power in MP, Rajasthan etc. in last elections based on bijli-sadak-pani issue. We all need development. We all know we want to get over with the issue of communal politics. Only people who are getting exploited - politically labeled minority communities, can make this happen - they have a huge role to play to bring our politics back into development agenda.
Jai Hind.
