I think Modi knows that indulging in any mischief will (a) hurt business prospects and (b) make him look more of a fanatic in the eyes of the broader world. If anything I see him pushing for development to erase the legacy of the 2002 riots from memory. He said in the campaign - and this is true - 'toilets not temples', a reference to the building of a temple over the razed site of one of the oldest mosques in India from the 1500s or so. Also, he knows that if he's fomenting discord and doesn't get substantial anything done, the voters will throw him out with the same gusto as they did the Congress, for the very same reasons.

EDIT: Why the hell is this getting down voted? Can't the RSS Internet wing engage in reasoned debate?
