As for the threat from the right, anyone hoping for peace in the region and reduced tensions within India between religious communities is relieved by the defeat of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The BJP’s strategy of painting the Congress as soft on terror and demonizing Muslims as an existential threat to India badly misfired.
由于印度人民普遍希望地区和平和宗教和解，这样一来，代表印度教的人民党的失败也不足为奇了。对国大党来说，来自右派势力的威胁也已解除。人民党把国大党描述成在对待恐怖分子问题上立场上软弱，将穆斯林妖魔化，看来，他们的目的最终也没有达到达成。
