That is a falsehood. That does not explain why BJP won the two Muslim dominated parliament seat very recently - Azamgarh and Rampur.The ruling party seems to be hostile that way towards Muslims, which is not good.
That is it's strength. In there past, the Hindu leaders drove out Buddhists from India.
Muslims in India are divided into two groups. The 'haves' (Ashraf) and the 'have-nots' (Pasmanda). BJP has support among the Pasmanda Muslims.
UP bypolls: BJP wins both Rampur, Azamgarh Lok Sabha seats in big setback to Samajwadi Party
Buddhism fizzled out in India because buddhist monks and scholars made it too difficult for laymen to understand, and their insistence on monkhood. Moreover, Hindus accepted Buddha as the ninth avatara of Lord Vishnu. Buddha was never disrespected in Hinduism. All through the history, they had support of Hindu Kings. Emperor Harsha is an example. He was a Shiva worshiper.
Muslims term for idols 'but' is derived from 'Buddha'. Buddhism was the first religion they encountered in India which had idols. The Muslims were very severe on Buddhism in North-West India. The destruction of Buddhist centers in Peshawar and Taxila are proof of that. Nalanda, the Buddhist university survived till 1,300 CE with support of Hindu kings before it was destroyed completely and the monks put to death. India cannot be made responsible for what Buddhists have done in Myanmar and Sri Lanka. However, let me state that Muslims of Myanmar wanted an independent 'Arakan' Muslim state and were involved in massacres of Buddhists.
