If you are Pakistani, Can you change your perception on BJP?

Did he say this?
Not really. But one of his close aides said that all those who dont vote for Modi would be thrown out from India after the elections and another one from Guajarat gave Muslims a deadline to leave Hindu neighbourhoods.

Giriraj Singh said that and he has been arrested today.

These are all election stunts, helps in polarization of vote. Azam Khan, biggest leader of UP recently said, all soildiers died in Kargil were muslims, not a single hindu died there, just for few votes more.
Even though Modi is PM candidate , he may not become PM even if BJP doesn’t win simple majority
Re: Indian Election, BJP, Narendra Modi and election campaign in Urdu
In so called or rather self proclaimed secular societies such large group of minorities must not become the butt of ever election sloganeering. Such discriminatory opportunism should not be tolerated under the pretext of 'oh its just election stunts'. There is indeed hostile level of prejudice, frustration and mistrust behind such attitude and mentality.
Considering how increasingly complex and contaminated Indian elections get, Pakistanis should be quite glad about the fact that political sledging, in their country, during the election times largely remains lighthearted and personal between the political two candidates.

In India, minority-majority no one is spared, people like Owaisi and Azam khan speak anti hindu things as well, but since they are minority, appeasement continues
The better part is, in India, there is absolutely no retribution at political level, No leader has perosonal agenda against anyother so as soon as new party comes in power it doesn't persue any case against opposition and sloganeering countinues. No hanging, no false cases, no jail time for anyone :)
So once election is over, people will move to IPL then to state election than to something else and then another election.

I really don't know what's worse: demonising, exploiting and intimidating large sections of society for political gain or making politics a very personal battle. :)

then make the choice that is beneficial to you, chose the lesser devil :)
Personally, I can care less about Indian elections or who Muslims living there choose to vote for. This is their election as a society be it their Hindu, Muslim or Christians. I will however be concerned if they threatened Pakistan or try to intimidate us...which obviously doesn't or cannot work..
