You're speaking hypothetically, of course; there is no such thing at
present as "the call for vote"... unfortunately.
Anyway, how will it hurt those 500+ people to vote again? Also, how
is it that people who voted YES the first time round support the reorg
now? Your thesis doesn't explain that.

This sudden urge to "stand up for the word Hindu" is only for those
who have no faith in continuing any other way.
