Pakistan, April 15 -- There are instances when all you need to do is boast to win over the supporters' sympathies, especially during the election campaigns. Elections in India are scheduled for April 19. The BJP exploits sentiment against Pakistan in every election to mobilise voters in favour of its candidates. Recent boasts and threats of invasion on Pakistani soil were made by India's Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh.
