The present study exposes the pretensions of media, besides the known game of fraud that all political parties often perpetrate from time to time in a bid to capture power. Fir instance so-called secular Devea Gouda’s Janata Dal is happily hand in glove with the BJP in the Karnataka. What happened to Deve Gouda’s all time rhetoric to keep the BJP away from power by realignments and polarizations since the time of his being the Prime Minister which did not last long, though. What happened to BJP-Akali Dal in Punjab? They returned to power dumping the so-called secular Congress which portrays itself as messiah of minorities? Are not Sikhs minorities? Why did they dump the Congress and embrace a non-secular BJP- Akali Dal? Why the perception of electorate and the of Political parties do not coincide with the definition of secularism? Why BJP is being voted back to power again and again in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttaranchal and Karnataka? Are the people here rejecting the so-called secular parties or accepting BJP as true secular party.
