About the “bjp takes Hindu votes and doesn’t work for hindus” line. What are Hindus actually voting for?

People I know who voted for BJP both in 2014 and 2019, some of them quite religious, all of them hindus, voted for development and corruption free society.
BJP gets only hindu votes because the abrahamics don’t vote for them. Not because the whole of the Hindu vote goes to them en bloc. Loads of difference. And the ones who do, do it for varied reasons.
The SM problems aren’t the problems on ground. Where everyday survival is paramount. This is not to say the criticism about a lot of Hindu related matters isn’t true. It’s just that your priorities & the priorities of the ordinary people don’t match.
You want Hindus to think and act like the abrahamics - not gonna happen any time soon. My very religious mother-in-law was extremely happy after the Ram Janmabhoomi verdict. But she voted BJP because in her words “they are good for our country”.
Obviously everyone has their own demands from a pro-hindu govt but are your demands same as the majority voters? Do your demands even feature in BJP’s to-do list?
And since this is a democracy and the party has to win elections, their focus areas might not always be to our liking.
The anti-bjp RW seem to be as clueless as the lefties here who think it’s entirely aware hindutvawadis who vote for BJP. Far from the truth. I for example, even started thinking about a lot of Hindu related matters only after I came to Twitter.
And when BJP loses somewhere, you attribute it to your own pet peeves being ignored. Which aren’t even the same between two critics.
What is amusing though is the mixing of honest critics with dishonest turncoats who jump on to the latest fad (free temples, don’t urbanise, kill RSS, empower Bajrang dal, lower the marriage age etc as per the season).
The frauds are usually a lot more convincing than the real deal. So, you know…

Trump is gonna let the Mueller investigation end all on it's own. It's obvious. All the hysteria of the past 2 weeks about his supposed impending firing of Mueller was a distraction. He was never going to fire Mueller and he's not going to


Mueller's officially end his investigation all on his own and he's gonna say he found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election.

Democrats & DNC Media are going to LITERALLY have nothing coherent to say in response to that.

Mueller's team was 100% partisan.

That's why it's brilliant. NOBODY will be able to claim this team of partisan Democrats didn't go the EXTRA 20 MILES looking for ANY evidence they could find of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election

They looked high.

They looked low.

They looked underneath every rock, behind every tree, into every bush.

And they found...NOTHING.

Those saying Mueller will file obstruction charges against Trump: laughable.

What documents did Trump tell the Mueller team it couldn't have? What witnesses were withheld and never interviewed?

THERE WEREN'T ANY.

Mueller got full 100% cooperation as the record will show.
