[size="5"]In Bihar Muslim vote for BJP[/size]
PATNA: One man's charisma could rarely be more magical. The minority community, which constitutes approximately 16.5% of Bihar's population, voted not only for secular Nitish Kumar's JD(U) but also for his "scary, saffron ally" __ the BJP __ in the state assembly elections.
In districts with Muslim concentration like Purnia, Katihar, East Champaran, West Champaran, Araria, Darbhanga, Siwan and Bhagalpur, the RJD and Congress were almost eliminated while NDA came out with flying colours. "Muslims have sent a clear message to the `self-proclaimed' secular parties that they should not take the community for granted," said prominent cleric and JD(U) leader Ghulam Rasool Baliavi.
