BJP's Election Victory Seen as Rejection of Divisive Tactics

Editorial. Kundan Vyas: BJP's name has been tarnished in the assembly elections. Bengal's voters have given a befitting reply to the opposition leaders who shouted that the constitution and democracy are in danger. Not just a majority, but a two-thirds majority has given a message of nationalism. It must have resonated in the ears of the leaders who live or travel abroad besides the country. The game of garnering votes by provoking Hindu-Muslim discord in the election campaign has also been turned upside down. Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah have said that infiltrators will cross the border but there will be no discrimination with the locals in the name of religion. Sabka Saath-Sabka Vikas. For the BJP government to now make plans to incite violence, create riots and fail is a test to maintain law and order in Bengal. Hope it succeeds.
