Church's Vote Bank Politics

A few days back there was a news in CNN-IBN which reveals Church's vote bank politics.
The highlights of the article are....
"The Catholic Church in Kerala has called upon its followers to have more babies; if they are economically well off. The Christian community is powerful in the state and contributes to 20 per cent of the vote bank. Not surprisingly, there is a huge political angle to the Bishop's call and Church goers are aware of it. When RSS Chief KS Sudarshan had called upon Hindus to have at least three children, last year, it lead to a huge uproar across the country. Cardinal Vithayathil's statements are also likely to spark off a debate.".... etc...

I am surprised after hearing this being a Christian..
I do not know where our country is heading up.
Even religion communities are selfish about their political future.
Oops !!!
I recollect controversial comments made by former chief minister of Kerala Mr. A.K. Antony at this time. It was about the minority community's pressuring attitude.

We will wait & seeā€¦

What else is there waiting in pavilion with all these community leaders?
