All these developments are an ominous sign for BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Mayawati and her party are likely to take this issue to every nook and corner of Uttar Pradesh. The issue may come to haunt BJP in Punjab and Gujarat as well. Punjab, incidentally, has the highest percentage of Dalits in the country.

BJP is trying its best to make inroads into the Dalit and OBC vote bank in UP along with retaining its support base among upper castes. Both RSS and BJP are actively engaged in engineering such social equations. Attempts are also on to pitch Dalits against Muslims to checkmate Mayawati. A weak Mayawati is an essential condition if BJP is to put up a good show in the UP elections.
