Who will benefit from attacks on Hindu temples?

Who will get the benefit of the ewfound Hindu resurgence in Andhra Pradesh. Repeated attacks on the temples across the state have whipped up a pro-Hindutva wave in the state. The people are opposing the attacks and a sentiment is building up against the YSRCP government.

The TDP was quick to realise this and adopted a pro-Hindu stance. Chandrababu Naidu began speaking like a diehard Hindutva activist. His speeches look more like a VHP activist speech. But, it appears that Chandrababu Naidu has toned down his anti-Christian rhetoric quite a bit after there was backlash from Christian leaders in TDP. So, there is a strong feeling that the BJP is the ultimate beneficiary of the Hindutva sentiment.

However, the big question is – Is the Saffron Party in a position to capitalise on the rising Hindu sentiment in Andhra Pradesh? With a weak organisational structure and lack of a charismatic leader is the BJP capable of channelizing the anti-Christian and pro-Hindu mood in the state? It appears even the party leadership at the centre seems to be having no idea on how to use this mood.
