BJP wants to emerge in Tamil Nadu politics through Hard-line Hindutva.
BJP gets on its Hindutva hobby horse in Tamil Nadu.
From enactment of a strong anti-conversion law to removing State control of temples, the party’s focus was on the hardcore Hindu urban voter. Ranging also, cow protection, goshalas in temples and prasadams made only from ghee of the cows from the goshalas.

Sruthisagar Yamunan | The Hindu | Chennai | April 25, 2016:: After failing to form an alliance of any significance, the BJP in Tamil Nadu has harked back to its old formula of Hindutva politics.
