Ideologically, the BJP and the Samajwadi Party (SP) might appear to be antithetical, but on several occasions, they seem to be complementing each other’s interests—be it in playing a politics of polarisation that serves both electorally or on more personal fronts.
Whenever the BJP has risen to power, the SP has thrived. And just as the Sangh’s rabble-rousers raise heat and dust in the name of Hindutva, the SP finds it convenient to consolidate its Muslim vote bank. Sure enough, SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav makes it a point to periodically remind Muslims that they owe their safety and security from the onslaught of rabid Hindutva only to him and his party. And quite systematically, BJP leaders do not forget to publicly accuse Mulayam and his party of playing “the politics of Muslim appeasement”.

Besides religious polarisation, other factors too have come into play to bring the SP and the BJP on a discreet common footing. Mulayam’s sudden U-turn from the ‘grand alliance’ in Bihar was one such occasion. It was seen as a move to benefit the BJP (which eventually did not happen) by forging a division of the Muslim vote. It is said that Mulayam’s U-turn was attributed to the pressure of the CBI sword dangling over him in the disproportionate assets case pending against him and his family.

A few months ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, ordinarily mindful of the rules, went out of his way to ‘oblige’ Mulayam’s younger brother and UP’s most powerful multi-portfolio minister Shivpal Yadav. His son-in-law Ajay Yadav, a 2010 batch IAS officer of the Tamil Nadu cadre, was allowed a convenient deputation to UP in utter violation of all rules through an unusual order of the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC), headed by the PM.

The prime minister intervened to bend all rules after Ajay’s repeated requests were turned down by the Department of Personnel and Training (DOPT) three times in a row on the ground that the officer had not completed nine years of service in the parent cadre, which is mandatory for seeking inter-state deputation.
