This whole riot was a planned by SP to ensure Muslim voters remain with SP. That must is pretty clear to everybody.
This is not the first time SP has engineering something like this. Jats were with RJD so SP had nothing to lose and everything to gain.
In one stroke SP has ensured the Muslims go back to fearing Hindus and have ensured they are seen as a pro muslim party so that the vote are not split and go to BSP.
Yadav's will continue to vote for SP.
Jats will now drift towards BJP. Dalits may drift towards BJP too. This too will serve the SP as Dalits will not stick with BJP for too long and will revert back to BSP after 2014.
Only loser in this game of riots engineered by SP is RJD and some temporary losses for BSP.
BJP only decided to fish in troubled waters. But they were not alone, both BSP and Congress were caught doing the same.
The fact remains only SP and Congress had any real power to control the situation. And they have "controlled" this situation to their political benefit. Mulayam is the puppet master of the whole show.
It is plain Silly to blame the BJP or RSS for all this drama.
