Abstract
Thr BJP's new-found interest in attracting Muslim votes has to be seen against its vacillating stand on a broad range of issues, including A yodhya, and the common civil code. As of now theres is little indicati on either that Muslims will vote en masse for one party throughout the country or that the BJP's new formula of appeasing sections of Muslim s will contribute to bettering BJP's electoral prospects.
