Singhal said till now vote bank politics was in play during elections and that too in the “garb of secular politics, which has been exposed”.

“In this country, vote-bank politics should not be done, whether it is division on basis of caste, religion, or community.. the country gets weakened because of all this..  and till now this used to happen due to which coalition government would come to power”, the VHP leader said. 

“One party coming to power was not possible earlier because everyone was busy dividing the country. I believe Narendra Modi has brought the country and its people together”, he said.

He said reservation has nothing to do with vote bank.  “Reservation came into existence because 15 per cent of our people were termed untouchables (Dalits). I believe untouchables should be given an opportunity to move ahead,” he said.
