The article forget to mention that the leader of this unity march, is PM candidate and was president of his party, because his mommy, daddy uncle, grandma, great-grandpa, great-great-grandpa were president or PM or PM candidate of the party and country.

Vast majority of India's problem since independence like corruption, nepotism, persistent poverty, unemployment, terrible education system, poor infrastructure, awful manufacturing and industrial setup, religion/caste/regional divides are due to this family and their party.

They can only shout secularism, because raising any other issue will open them up for massive criticism. Foreign media and activists, easily fall for their pitch, and then wonders why this party keeps on getting rejected.

Actually they can't even do that. Their version of secularism was "the government gets unnecessarily and invasively involved in all religions" and they continued to perpetuate colonial era divide-and-rule religious laws that are antithetical to the proper functioning of a modern democratic state.
