Mayawati blames muslims
angered by the blow to her prime ministerial aspirations, Bahujan Samaj Party president and Uttar Pradesh [Images] Chief Minister Mayawati [Images] on Saturday sought to blame her party's dismal showing in the Lok Sabha election on non-cooperation by Muslims and the "conspiracy" by different parties.
<b>"Very few Muslims voted for my party this time," </b>she told a hurriedly convened press conference at her home in Lucknow [Images]. <b>"We got the support of the Muslim community only in constituencies where we fielded Muslim candidates,"</b> she added.

Why did she think she will get Muslim vote?
there is a story in here which people should look into and it might turn up something.
BTW, GS, MK Narayanan should get the credit for Muslim consolidation. the non TSP based terrorists attacks were like earlier period riots. Everytime an attack happened the nationalists would spit fire and brimstone and drive the Muslims into INC fold.
Mkaes one wonder about this.
Can someone indulge me and look into timeline to see the Ind Muj attacks and if there were elections in some part of the country where INC was in the fray?
