The BJP has its own calculations of electoral politics, but it needs to develop new strategies. Alliance with NCP is just the tip of the resentment iceberg for party workers.

How come there are so many Christians in Haryana? Or Punjab for that matter?
Since when have these churches and allied Christian organizations been active in Haryana? Nobody ever saw Christians in Haryana. The only minorities in Haryana were the Muslims (primarily in Nuh) and the Sikhs. How come these organizations have been able to successfully convert thousands of Haryanvis?
Was the Union and state governments sleeping all this time?
Good news indeed. Finally, Hindu organisations are waking up to the grave danger posed by Christian missionary activity in Punjab and Haryana.
Of late, Christian missionaries have become highly active in these two states and have successfully converted thousands of Sikhs and Hindus. It’s time Sikh institutions such as the SGPC and Akalis join hands with Hindu organisations like the Bajrang Dal and VHP and counter Christian missionary activity.
Otherwise, Punjab and Haryana will end up being Christian majority states.
One only has to look at the north-eastern states to understand what happens when a state becomes Christian majority.
For example, in Nagaland, the state govt never tables bills/laws in the legislature without the prior consent and approval from the various Naga churches. The same applies to Meghalaya and Mizoram as well. In fact, in these states Hindus are harrassed/intimidated routinely and temples/gurudwaras desecrated and destroyed on the state government orders.
The Indian government must realise the threat to national security posed by such widespread Christian conversions in a sensitive border state like Punjab. Even Haryana is a matter of concern.
The Sikh religious authorities like the Panch Pyare, the SGPC and the political parties espousing the cause of Sikhs like the Akali Dal must wake up before it’s too late. The various Deras active in Punjab/Haryana with their babas too must close ranks to ensure that Punjab/Haryana does not end up with a sizeable Christian minority.
In communally sensitive states like Punjab and Haryana with a very painful history, this might light a fire impossible to extinguish.

Where did Christians in Haryana come from?? Why don’t they focus on getting Europeans to their churches, where most of the churches are empty
