No denying the fact -
Uttar Pradesh is a politically volatile state and it is also a state where
religion and caste factors play a major role in determining the outcome of any
elections.
If we go by media reports
story started in the village Kawal. where two Jat brothers killed a Muslim boy
who was teasing their sister. Later, they were lynched to death and an incident
which was probably that of crime took the shape of a full-blown communal
violence.
It doesn’t look as simple as it is.Till investigations are completed Question always remain. Was this all done in a moment of heat or there was a motivation behind all this. It may be a Community decision or may be politically motivated.But let’s not get into it.

Political Scenario thereafter :
Predictably, the blame
game started. The ruling Samajwadi Party is being accused of not paying
attention to the alerts by the Centre that riots could take place. It is
also blamed by some leaders that the SP and the BJP were hand-in-gloves and
were trying to vitiate the atmosphere in the state. If true , Question
arises Why?? It is believed that communal tension between Hindu and Muslims in
UP may polarize hindu votes in favor of BJP , which fared badly in last general
elections in 2009. The same is believed in case of SP as far as Muslim Votes are
concerned.
But, we must not forget
that it’s the not 90’s its year 2013. Voter these days has become quiet
educated as far as elections are concerned. They know what all such riots leads
to. Moreover , Media today is quiet active and fast.
After this riot it was
said Jat voters in majority will move towards BJP. But we mustn’t forget Jats
are traditional farmers. What matters to them is policies related to their
farming which is their bread and butter. RLD chief Ajit Singh , though not a
big political force , but the biggest Jat leader in western UP is still a force
to reckon. His son , Jayant Choudhary carries with himself image of a clean
leader, So politically , there is not much of gain for anybody as far as Jat
votes are concerned.
Coming to Muslims it is
clearly speculated that SP is the biggest loser in this area.Moreover ,
Considering Modi factor and presence of Amit Shah , former Home Minister Gujarat
, in UP can lead Muslims towards Congress .But the biggest gainer from all this
in UP must be BSP as number of riots during BSP was lesser than since 2012.
Different ways of winning Hearts and People :
It is irony in our country
that whenever there are communal riots we start talking of votes polarization.
This and that party will be benefitted from all this etc.
Lets take an example of
Bhatta-Parsaul (GautamBudh Nagar) agitation à This agitation was done by farmers not by any community or religion.
This agitation led to the birth of the Famous Land Acquisition Bill. Movement
started by Rahul Gandhi and carried forward by Dhirendra Singh , now
spokesperson , UPCC. They led farmers to fight for their rights and ultimately
bill was passed . Farmers in GB Nagar includes all communities like Muslims ,
Thakurs , Jats etc. But Ultimately a farmer won. So we must not forget fighting
for right cause will ultimately give you glory rather than instigating Riots.
दंगे मे मरता है न हिन्दू न मुसलमान
इसमें जीता है हैवान और मरता है इनसान
