Everybody
was surprised when the Prime Minister of India landed at Safai in Uttar Pradesh
last month. Narendra Modi takes every step very cautiously; so which strategy
is the Safai visit part of? He went there to attend the tilak ceremony of Tej
Pratap Singh, MP, and a grandnephew of Mulayam Singh Yadav. The live TV
coverage of the ceremony was watched around the country. Why he attended the
festivity has not been answered by the media-savvy PM. The Bharatiya Janata
Party, under the leadership of Modi, had grabbed 73 of the 80 parliamentary
constituencies of Uttar Pradesh in the last Lok Sabha elections. While he was
touring the state, Modi had said in the election rallies that the “Baap-bete ki
sarkar nahin chalegi”. UP voters saw Modi as a colossus who can emancipate them
from Yadav clan rule in Uttar Pradesh.
