BJP's vote bank politics

It would be better for the party to fulfil its poll promise of development

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA and riot accused Sangeet Som has said that the Taj Mahal was built by “tyrants” who worked to destroy Hindus. One wonders if he was influenced by UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s remark in June that the mausoleum doesn’t reflect Indian culture. The Taj was even left out of a UP government’s tourism brochure. Adityanath has tried to contain the damage done by Som. But one fails to understand that why almost every month the BJP is involved in an activity that is against a religion, food habits or otherwise and aims to polarise communities?
