Agencies Tags : Narendra Modi, Nitish Kumar Posted: Sat Jun 12 2010, 19:35 hrs Patna:
In a clear snub to its coalition partner, an angry Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar cancelled a dinner for the top brass of the BJP in disapproval of an advertisement featuring him with Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and another on Gujarat's aid during the floods two years ago.
There was bad blood between the two sides, which run a coalition government for the last nearly five years, after Kumar attacked those who released an advertisement featuring him with Modi, about whom he was always uncomfortable as a political ally.
The JD(U) leader, who has an eye on Muslim votes, has fashioned himself as a secular leader and in the past had avoided sharing any dias with Modi in Bihar.
All secular politicians are concerned about what Muslims think of them. They must be seen to be supportive of Islamic sensitivities. Nobody cares for the Hindus and their votes because Hindu votes are divided. Unless Hindus demand that politicians respect their sensitivities too, Hindus will be taken for granted and Hindu identity will soon be of no value. The Hindus will then be on the way to becoming a minority in India. Hindus must wake up before it is too late.
