The remote possibility of justice for the victims of the Gujarat riots has now gone down the drain with BJP’s victory. There is no doubt that Modi and his party have been trying to interfere in the judicial process and this win will give a further momentum to their efforts. The BJP says that this election has been won on the development card. But as far as the Muslims of the state are concerned, especially the poor and downtrodden, even their basic rights and freedom of life and justice have been usurped, let alone development. This victory is definitely a moment of monumental grief and shame for Gujarat and the entire nation. Sooner or later, the voters of Gujarat will realise the fallacy of voting a murderer and his goons to power who were bragging of development on the dead bodies of innocent people.
