Orissa is a bastion of Hinduism. There the contradiction is between Hindus and Christians. The BJP got willy-nilly thrown into the vortex to defend the Hindus. The political face of the Christians are the Communists. Patnaik is making the biggest mistake in aligning with the terrorist naxal commies. I think it is good for the BJP that this split has occured. Orissa will go the Karnataka way and BJP will triumph in the end. Patnaik will end up like Deve Gowda of JD(S).
