Modi's counter to 'topi' politics: Track-II mission to woo Muslims

Firstpost  

Nitish Kumar may have inflicted a topi-tilak conditionality on Narendra Modi to negate his Prime Ministerial ambitions, but the Gujarat Chief Minister is not just sitting in his tent sulking. Sareshwala’s critics and leaders in rival political formations often term him as ‘Modi Ka Musalman’, but he does not seem to mind it much, He admitted to Firstpost that he has been talking to various Muslim organisations in different parts of the country. Sareshwala is also not willing to reveal, at this stage, what the response of Muslim social and religious leaders outside Gujarat has been towards Modi. While Modi’s new non-party supporters have come to terms with him, they have a grievance with his party: they blame the BJP for not reaching out to Muslims in the manner it should have and for not propagating Modi’s silent work among the Muslim community. From practically zero support in the Muslim community till a few years back, Narendra Modi’s supporters now boast of the Salaya experience.
