Whatever happened in UP in the past week or so is the result of dirty
politics being played more or less solely by Mulayam Singh Yadav’s
Samajwadi party (SP) to consolidate its Muslim vote bank and has resulted in 30+ communal riots since SP came to power in 2012. Recent episode of suspension of IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal can also be attributed to the same approach. So let’s look at what exactly is SP upto:
Vote
Share Chart 2012 Assembly elections
As per above chart in 2012 Vidhan Sabha
election, SP got 29.2% and BSP got 25.9%, only a 3.3% vote
share difference. But due to multi cornered contest in UP, SP won 224 seats while BSP had to contend
with just 80 seats. So even a minor movement of vote can cause big changes.
In
2012 election it is believed that Muslims (19%) + Yadav (9%)
overwhelmingly voted for SP, probably around 80% of them,
so essentially SP got around 23% vote just from Yadav’s and
Muslims, rest of the 6-7% vote came as a floating vote.
Now
though in 2012 elections Congress made a desperate attempt to woo
Muslims votes by offering the carrot of reservations in government
jobs etc., but Muslims chose to side with SP. In spite of
Muslim support that SP got in 2012, it has been insecure about
the Muslim vote bank, as it knows both Congress and BSP have
their eyes set on this vote bank.
Mulayam
knows that even if Congress and BSP are able to get 4-5% Muslim
votes from his kitty, he would lose a large number of seats. So since coming to power in
2012 SP has made every attempt to consolidate the Muslim vote for
it and to do that it essentially gave goons in Muslim community a
free hand. So to a large extent a Muslim could do any crime and go
scot-free, so these goons molested and raped Hindu women.
See
the long list of Rapes done by Muslims on Hindu women
since 2012:
Muslim
goons engaged in rioting (there have been 30+ communal riots
since SP came to power), smuggled sophisticated arms and even if
the police caught them they were let go. Over
the last few months there have been numerous reports of deadly
weapons being circulated in UP, but the government has taken
absolutely no action till date. There have been rumors that a
Muslim leader is hand-in-glove with this whole exercise of
arming a community to the teeth. In fact, quite a few vehicles
have been raided by the police with large quantities of illegal
weapons, but the state administration has adopted a “blind eye”
policy towards this whole phenomenon. So
essentially there was no fear of law.
Now
as 2014 election are approaching the Samajwadi party is getting
desperate, so when the brutal murder of the 2 Hindus took
place, the police didn't do much. This was the usual script that
Samajwadi Party has been playing since it came to power. For more
insight into what happened check this out:
Now
rioting is still on and SP, Congress, BSP have started blaming BJP
out of nowhere. As I explained above this is solely the doing of
SP, no other party is directly involved.
SP
is sure shot winner by consolidating the Muslim vote bank.
Pulling
in BJP as a culprit with the beneficiary theory is out rightly
ridiculous, why the hell will SP get together with BJP or
anyone on this, they are doing whatever they think will get them maximum political mileage and they don't care who is the beneficiary
whether it’s BSP or BJP. SP’s sole aim is seat maximization
for 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Blaming BJP using
beneficiary is ludicrous, it's like saying that since BJP will
benefit from scams done by Congress, so BJP is also involved.
According
to me SP is solely responsible. Congress/UPA Government can be blamed
for inaction (for the fear of antagonizing Muslim votes) in spite of knowing (through
IB etc.)
what has been going on in UP in last year or so (arms being
smuggled, rapes of Hindu girls etc.).
