Right wing Hindu-fundamentalist alliance loses Maharashtra Assembly elections
Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh urged to reinstate the 3 million Sikhs who disappeared from the doctored Indian Census records and correct falsely inflated Muslim growth rates
Washington, D.C., Wednesday, October 20, 2004 - The vicious reaction of the Shiv Sena boss, also known as 'Hitler of Mumbai', Bal Thakeray to the defeat of his fascist, right wing, Hindu-fundamentalist, Neo-Nazi Shiv Sena-Bharatiya Janata Party alliance in last weeks assembly election in India's premier state, Maharashtra (total population 96, 878, 627; Muslims-10, 270, 485 represented by one Muslim MP in the Lok Sabha; Christians-1, 058, 313; Sikhs-215, 337) is an ill omen for India's persecuted Christian, Muslim and Sikh minorities, particularly the Muslim and Christian. (http://www.thehindu.com/2004/10/19/stories/2004101907491100.htm)The right wing defeat in the Maharashtra election, where the commmunal card could not be played because of the incumbant Congress coalition government in Mumbai, will spur the frustrated Hindutva-fundamentalist crowd to greater depths of commmunalistic behaviour in the future. The Muslim minority is specially at risk as reaction like Thakaray's, forebodes riots and pogroms, a la 2002 state-sponsored anti/Muslim Gujarat massacres and the twin 1984 anti/Sikh Amritsar/Delhi pogroms. These plans are currently in the conspiracy stage among the hard, as well as the soft, Hindutva crowd eversince the doctored 2001 Indian Census document was released which falsely increased the numbers of Muslims in India - showing the highest growth rate - and reduced the number of the 25 million strong Sikh minority by three million.
At the end of last weeks seesaw Maharashtra state assembly election the pendulum finally swung in favour of the Congress-Nationalist/Congress Party alliance which won 141 seats in the 288-member Assembly - the Congress 69, the National Congress Party 71 and the Republican Party of India (Athavale), one - four short of a simple majority. Their main opponents, the fascist right wing Hindu-fundamentalist Shiv Sena-Bharatiya Janata Party alliance won 117 seats, the Shiv Sena 62, the BJP 54 and the Swatantra Bharat Paksh (STBP) one. It is quite clear that the real victor in the fiercely contested Maharashtra Assembly election was the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by the Union Agriculture Minister, Sharad Pawar who covets the prime miniter's chair in Delhi. While the NCP started off as the junior partner of the Congress in their joint bid to retain power in the State, it emerged as the party with the largest number of seats. The NCP contested 124 seats and won 71 while the Congress contested 157 and won only 68, its lowest score ever in Maharashtra, which has been its long-standing stronghold. In 1999, when the NCP and the Congress had fought the elections separately, the NCP had won 58 seats while the Congress won 75.
Another major surprise thrown up by the election results was the almost total absence of the lower caste Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) as a factor in the final result. In the run-up to the elections, both alliances had feared that the BSP, which contested 272 seats, the largest number by any party, would adversely affect the Congress-NCP alliance. The BSP chief, Ms. Mayawati, had spoken of holding the "balance of power". When the votes were counted, the BSP registered a zero in number of seats won and only 3.88 per cent of the vote share. Three parties that were allied to the Congress-NCP alliance but decided to contest separately in the election won a small number of seats.They are the Communist Party of India (Marxist) three seats, the Peasants and Workers Party of India (PWPI) two seats Prakash Ambedkar's Bharipa Bahujan Mahasangh (BBM), a faction of the Republican Party of India, which won one seat. The Congress-NCP combine is hopeful that all three will support their government. The Congress-NCP alliance is expected to form a government after resolving the bickering over which party will take the Chief minister's 'lucarative' chair, a typical Indian political 'dogfight' for the spoils - Democracy Indian style.
Following the Maharashtra state assembly election the elderly boss of the fascist Neo-Nazi Shiv Sena, also known as the 'Hitler of Mumbai', Bal Thakeray, lashed out at the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party's "vote bank" politics and rued that his party's alliance lost the elections because of block voting by Muslims and 'outsiders,' (read Christians and Sikhs) against it. (> http://www.thehindu.com/2004/10/19/stories/2004101907491100.htm <) Writing in the Shiv Sena mouthpiece, Saamna, Mr. Bal Thackeray launched a vicious attack on Muslims, apart from the Congress-NCP, and renewed the bogey of "Islamic" threat and `Vote bank politics'. The Congress-NCP was looking at nurturing these vote banks and not taking into account the interests of the nation, he said and warned of 'danger from Islam.' "In the event of 'the Islamic threat' coming true, Ms. Sonia Gandhi would escape to Italy with her two children," wrote Thakeray.
At the end of days of high drama following the Maharashtra election, M. Venkaiah Naidu resigned as president of the right wing Hindu-fundamentalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) an ally of Bal Thakaray's Neo-Nazi Shiv Sena. The current Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha (Indian parliament) and former deputy prime minister in the Vajpayyee government, L.K. Advani, took over as the new dictator/chief of the All India Bharatiya Janata Party - BJP. Former Deputy Prime minister L. K. Advani is the same evil-master-mind who, as Home minister in the Vajpayee government, was incharge of the Indian Census Bureau which arranged for the state-sponsored statistical genocide of the Sikhs which saw the national count of the 'troublesome' Sikh minority reduced by three million in the 2001 Census. (Read our columns on India's 2001 Census fraud, headlined, "Statistical genocide of the Sikhs continues - Sikh Growth rate reduced to 16.9%" and "India's statistical genocide - Over 3 million Sikhs dissappear from India's Census count" by clicking at: > /Main/K_Calling/kc09152004.htm < and /home/khalistancalling/september08.aspx)
With Mr. Naidu's resignation, all party office-bearers lose their positions and the national executive council also stands dissolved. Advani's presidentship is to be ratified at the BJP party's National Council session on October 29, 2004. Mr. L. K. Advani will then be free to revamp the entire party structure and cook up and organize extravaganzas, a la the Babri Mosque demolition in the 1990's, to muster the Neo-Nazi Hindutva vote.
In the 2001 census, conducted under L. K. Advani's direct control, while the count and growth rate of the muscular Sikh community was reduced by three million, the count of the Muslim minority was inflated by nearly twenty million, specially in the states of U.P., Bihar, Madhya Pradesh - where new states were carved - to allow the BJP to play the 'demographic communal card' pogroms against the oppressed Muslim minority by introducing state-sponsored draconian measures - a la Hitler's Germany in the 1930's - to curtail that minority's socalled fast population growth. Appended below is Census information culled from the Census of India website which shows normal Muslim population growth in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu and abnormal - false - inflated growth rate of Muslims in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.

If the population of Bihar & Jharkand states are combined to get a true prespective (Bihar, 82, 998, 509 + Jharkand, 26, 945, 829 = 109, 944, 228) and the Muslim populations of the two are added (Bihar, 13, 722, 048 represented by four Muslim Lok Sabha members & Jharkand, 3, 731, 308 represented by one Lok Sabha member) the total Muslim population of the two states = 17, 453, 356 which combined figure makes the Muslim populations to be about 17.49%; Increase in Bihar/Jharkand state's Muslim population for both states - percentage wise - in twenty years = 2.36% ::::
M. P. (Madhya Pradesh): 1981 census, the Muslim population of Madhya Pradesh was = 2, 501, 919 Muslims which made up 4.80% of M.P.'s population; 1991 census, the Muslim population of Madhya Pradesh was 3, 282, 800 which made up 5% of MP's population, an increase of 0.20% in ten years; Despite the partition of Madhya Pradesh, into Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, the Muslim population of Madhya Pradesh in the 2001 census, was 3, 841, 449 which made up 6.4% of the new partitioned state's (Madhya Pradesh's) population, which fields no Muslim member in the Lok Sabha; Increase of Madhya Prsadesh state's Muslim population - percentage wise - in twenty years = 1.6% :::

Had the BJP coalition not been defeated in the last Indian National election the fake inflated numbers of the Muslim population, thrown up by the phony 2001 census, would have by now resulted in repeats of the 2001 Gujarat pogrom in which over two thousand Muslims were murdered and hundreds of thousands made homeless. We urge prime minister Dr. Manmohan Singh to locate the missing three million Sikhs - the victims of the BJP statstical genocide - and correct the inflated totals for the Muslim minority, examples of which have been given above, lest this persecuted minority is mass murdered to reduce its numbers, by both the hard and the soft Hindutva-fundamentalist jingoists.
