The majority die in the name of democracy.

In the general elections of 2009 the average turnout across the country was 59.7%, of which the Congress received 28.55%. So, in effect the Congress received votes from just 17% of the total electorate. However, our first-past-the-post system meant that the Congress increased the number of its seats in the Lok Sabha to 206 which made it the largest single party and allowed it to cobble together a coalition by creating over 70 ministries, a straightforward bribery to politicians just as it had bribed the electorate with disastrous social schemes. That is how democracy works, which basically means rule by the majority. Sadly, when it comes to the people the Congress chooses to persecute majority Hindus in favor of minorities in the name of Secularism, which is as false as it is cynical. In some parts of the country minorities form up to 20% of the population so politicians of other parties also tend to pander to them to get votes. These politicians divide Hindus by appealing to members of their own castes and this, added to minority votes, sees them through to victory. One such is Mr Nitish Kumar, Chief Minister of Bihar. He came to power with the support of the BJP and together they formed a coalition government but since Mr Narendra Modi was elected the Prime Ministerial candidate by the BJP he has broken with the BJP and is now governing with the support of the Congress and RJD of Mr Lalu Prasad Yadav. His excuse is that Mr Modi did not protect Muslims during the riots in Gujarat in 2002 and is therefore Hindu nationalist. It is true that around 1500 Muslims did die in 2002 but everyone chooses to forget that over 500 Hindus were also killed. This is nothing compared to the killings of over 8000 Sikhs after Indira Gandhi's assassination in 1984, orchestrated by the Congress.
The numbers of Muslims in Bihar are far larger than the numbers of Sikhs so Mr Nitish Kumar has clearly calculated that pandering to Muslims would outweigh any grievance that Sikhs may feel. That is mind numbingly cynical. Yesterday Mr Modi addressed a crowd in Patna in Bihar. There were 6 explosions resulting in the deaths of 6 people with over 100 injured. Mr Nitish Kumar had refused personal security for Mr Modi but is now crying " conspiracy ". And it is all in the name of democracy.
