States with the largest non-vegetarian populations are mostly ruled by non-BJP parties; those with the largest numbers of vegetarians, mostly by the BJP

Eight of India’s top 10 major states ranked by their preference for vegetarianism are now BJP-ruled. And 8 of the top 10 major states ranked by their preference for non-vegetarian food are ruled by non-BJP parties, according to data from the Census of India’s Sample Registration System Baseline Survey, 2014.

There appears to be a correlation — although no causality — therefore, between the electorate’s leaning towards vegetarianism and its current political preference for the BJP.

Given the visible vegetarian underpinning to its state-wise spread in the country, it would appear to be more than simply coincidental that at least 6 BJP governments — beginning with Uttar Pradesh and followed by Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh — have chosen to go after the meat industry, clamping down on slaughterhouses and, in one case (Gujarat), declaring an intention to make the state “shakahari”.
 
Veg Non Veg
 
While considering the top-10 listicles’ data, it is important to note, however, that India as a whole is non-vegetarian. Over 71% of the population consumes some form of meat, clearly dispelling the notion that India is predominantly vegetarian.

Even in the most vegetarian of the major states — Rajasthan — every fourth person consumes non-vegetarian food. And in Uttarakhand, the state that occupies the lowest — tenth — position among the top 10 states ranked by their preference for vegetarian food, as many as 73% consume non-vegetarian food.
