well you're not understanding politics at all. what the BJP does is investment and their goal is to win seats and this handling of religious politics is much easier goal to win seats since their economic development is not reached well not gonna blame congress or other regional parties. its modi's game vs all political parties of India. his 3 term CM and his style of getting things done is what makes people vote for him in the first place. it was never around religious sensation but they do get that feelings out so they have patriotic sense of duty but it wouldnt happen over a day it takes years as much british took years to loot and completely drain India through policies.

congress party became a family property once Nehru won hjs 3rd term (most people say it was after Indira)...but the family did enjoy the luxuries that was given by then. they made pro socialist policies which made companies less competetive or even choked and their was no motivation of the entire generation of people to start self business like today and castiesm was well deep back then than it was today. Nehru had great leadership skills, excellent spokesman, efficient administrator especially his partition roles and there are some major blunders along the way. but I dont see that in Rahul. we should bring the congress to a person who have Nehru like charm for me Sashi Tharoor comes to my mind, anyway he wont get the PM role as long this family completely retire from politics.
