Ramana,
It was an emotional blackmail by BJP to expect hindu votes while keeping their campaign completely hindu neutral while tom-tomming Abdullah Bukhari as a major supporter of ABV.
That emotional blackmail backfired. And BJP, RSS, hindus and India all have been the losers.
In the short term the situation definitely looks bleak for BJP. But in the long term, may be it is for the better, may be they needed a whipping. It is almost sure that BJP will not repeat the mistake of keeping its campaign hindu neutral from now on.
JMHO.
