The two states from which the vandalism was most prominent are ironically (?) BJP ruled states, the party which has been almost in shock after losing the last general elections. It almost refused to come to terms that it was out of power and overwhelming majority of Hindus had voted it out of power, whose cause it thought it espoused.
BJP was a shambles after elections, when came the Narendra Modi rejoinder, which party grabbed as great model to seize power. Modi’s repeat victory in Gujarat convinced the BJP stalwarts and the Sangh Pariwar that it was the model to emulate in the rest of the country if the party was to smother the caste and class identities in the country and form a monolith of a divergent culture. Minority bashing does get good harvest of votes as Narender Modi showed, and if backed by good economy eventually gets people to accept the ruler despite initial hitch. The Gujarat model has become a showcase for replication in Hindutva laboratories all over the country.
