The leftists and Muslim vote bank in India

... In India, encouraging and provoking anti West sentiments, the left builds its vote banks among the Muslims. Never mind if it is against India's interests.

In the latest incident, a Senior Member of the Polit-bureau for the first time acknowledged that fact much to the embarrassment of the rest of the leftist parties and the party had to officially withdraw that statement.

You may wish to conduct some research on this, not very well known development. For all its talk of secularism and atheism, the left makes common cause with radical elements among the Muslims for gaining electoral advantage.
