Doesn't help that the opposite party, Indian National Congress, is still reliant on old outdated minority appeasement tactics.

Both parties are guilty of spreading misinformation, but now-ruling party encashed the majority votebank first, and almost controls the popular narrative. Moreover INC doesn't have promising leadership, they are mostly exploited by Nehru-Gandhi family.

In most demographics, majority of people are conservative and it's just matter of time someone exploits it.
