In a candid interview during the Sahara News Network’s Think With Me Summit 2016 held at Lucknow, Bahujan Samaj Party leader Satish Chandra Mishra said that the riots take place because of the political parties. Spinning a food for thought he volleyed a question: Why were there no riots during the BSP rule in Uttar Pradesh? Without naming the parties, but giving a clear hint nonetheless, the veteran leader, who is also considered the think-tank of the party, said that that the two major parties of the state are to be blamed for all the riots.
