BJP cannot win elections only by deviding people on religious line.
It is known that in the recently concluded Rajasthan assembly elections, BJP is driven out of power. Especially, in the Alwar district, which has eleven assembly constituencies, BJP was able to win only in two seats. In the last assembly election, BJP won in nine seats in this district. One may ask what is the speciality of Alwar district. This district is the epicentre of violence that was unleashed in the name of cow protection. Mob attacks, organised in the name of cow protection, is common in Alwar district. In 2017, Pehlu Khan was killed by a mob in this district. The mob accused that Pehlu Khan was transporting cows for slaughter. Early this year, Rakbar Khan was killed by a mob in the same way. It is needless to say that the Gau Rakshaks (cow vigilantes) are targeting Muslims. The aim is to create communal tension and thereby devide the people in the name of religion. The real intension of these Gau Rakshaks is not to protect cows. They want only to take political advantage, in the name of cow protection. Due to the terror unleashed by the Gau Rakshaks, the farmers are not able to sell their old and unproductive cows. Result? The old and unproductive cows are being ditched by the farmers. These stray cows enter into farms, eat and destroy the crops. So, the stray cows have become a very big headache for the farmers. They could not sleep in the night. With torch and stick in their hands, the farmers patrol their farms in the night, to ensure that their crops are not destroyed by stray cows. The farmers themselves, majority of whom are Hindus, do not approve violence in the name of cow protection. The BJP should realise at least now, that they cannot keep winning elections only by deviding people on religious line.
