No it's not. Modi knows he can never become the PM unless he sweeps UP and Bihar with a collective tally of around 60. The criminal' date=' Shah, was sent to UP for the purpose of instigating riots and polarizing the electorate on the 2002 "model". Going by all evidence during my visit there and talking to people, he is very successfully doing so. S=G will correct me if I am wrong as he stays there.[/quote']UP has seen a string of riots right from the day SP came to power last year. How can Modi and Amit Shah be blamed for the law and order situation in UP which has been bad for quite some time now?

How is the blame not on samajwadi party? They have the most to win from polarization of votes. They also seem to have given a free hand to one section of the society by sending a strong message to the admin that action against the "vote bank community"will not be tolerated. The blame for what happens in Modi's state rightly lies with Modi...so how does the blame for what happens in Yadav's state not lie with Yadav?

If you don't accept anecdotal evidence, look at the intelligence reports about the mass scale polarization in progress in UP - yeah taali ek haath se nahin bajti hai and SP is also responsible, but the driving force is Modi and Shah. The failed VHP yatra was another attempt to have large scale communal riots.

There have been more than 30 riots in UP since Akhilesh came in and they have largely gone unreported. I doubt this news would have been reported if this jorno hasn't died, all this has been going on for 1 week in Mujjafarnagar and there wasn't a single news reporting this. SP is a goon party, Mulayam has iftaar dinner with a Moulavi, very next day the Moulavi gives a hate speech and mob destroys public property. Madness from top to bottom. I really feel bad for good and educated people of UP. They have no choice either. The state has gone to dogs.

The CM is incompetent at best and a communal riot monger at worst. He has been unable to control communal clashes for far too long to get away with out the tarnish that is reserved for the other "riot effected CMs". It is high time people and media asked uncomfortable questions from the "seculars".But unfortunately ,asking that from the biased and paid media is a bit too much. At least we can get our heads out of the sand.

Jai ho Modi aur Amit Shah ki - abhi baraah mare hain. By the time the elections are done their target would be closer to baraah sau. Expect more such news from UP over the next year.
The toll is 21 according to IBN. The SP has been encouraging this as they will gain the most in a polarization.

IMO he is naive and inexperienced, not incompetent and a communal riot monger. The fault lies more with Mulayam Singh for making Akhilesh CM before he was ready for such a huge job and then giving him Azam Khan and Shivpal Yadav as Ministers whom he cannot control. Such riots and gundagardi happens everytime SP comes to power but our "impartial" media never asks questions because SP knows that it needs certain vote banks to come to power so it does whatever it takes to appease them. Now the fear of Modi coming to power has made the communal situation worse.

However, Modi and Shah are not only feeding fuel to the fire, they are starting their own fire as well. And it's pretty funny to see support for Modi when he has presided over the worst riots of modern India in the context of criticizing Akhilesh.

LUCKNOW, India — Hundreds of troops have been deployed to quell deadly riots and clashes between Hindus and Muslims sparked by the killing of three villagers who had objected when a young woman was being harassed in northern India. Police said 19 people were killed, including an Indian broadcast journalist, a police photographer and several people who on Sunday succumbed to injuries received a day earlier when the two groups set upon each other with guns and knives in Kawal village, in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The violence quickly spread to neighboring villages in Muzaffarnagar district Saturday night. “A curfew has been imposed in three riot-hit areas of Muzaffarnagar,” said the head of the state’s home ministry, R.M. Srivastava. “The situation is still very tense, but under control.” Soldiers were going door to door to search for weapons. A state of high alert was declared for the entire state of Uttar Pradesh, which has a population of 200 million people. The clashes broke out Saturday after thousands of Hindu farmers held a meeting in Kawal to demand justice in the Aug. 27 killing of three men who had spoken out when a woman was being verbally harassed. The state’s minority welfare minister, Mohammad Azam Khan, said some at the meeting gave provocative speeches calling for Muslims to be killed. The farmers were attacked as they were returning home after the meeting, senior police official Arun Kumar said. “The attack seemed well planned,” Kumar said. “Some were armed with rifles and sharp-edged weapons.” Gunfire was reported from several areas of the village. Within hours clashes broke out in neighboring villages, Kumar said. A leader from the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party said tensions had been simmering since the three men were killed Aug. 27 in a tea shop. “Had the killers been arrested, the situation might not have gone out of hand,” Vijay Bahadur Pathak said. Uttar Pradesh was at the heart of some of India’s worst communal clashes in December 1992, after a Hindu mob razed the 16th-century Babri mosque in Ayodhya. The government has warned that India is seeing a rise in communal violence, with 451 incidents reported already this year, compared with 410 for all of 2012. Tensions were expected to escalate in the run-up to next year’s national elections, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde told reporters in New Delhi on Saturday. He said all 28 of India’s states should stay alert and improve their ability to gather intelligence. Communal violence last month left two dead and 22 injured in a village in Bihar state, east of Uttar Pradesh, according to Indian media. Outbreaks have also been reported recently in Uttar Pradesh’s district of Shamli, as well as in the disputed Himalayan territory of Kashmir. Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
