The fact is that Modi was the single, biggest beneficiary of these riots, coming to power with a resounding majority of 126 seats in the following assembly elections.
Today more than 20% of Gujarat is below the poverty line and Modi has taken absolutely no steps to alleviate the problems of these farmers. 420 farmers have committed suicide in Gujarat alone. All he is good at is playing with emotional issues. It helped his in 2002 elections and he is hoping it would work this time around too. He is the paradigm of the communal vote bank gutter politics.
Also, the Tehelka expose was, for all intents and purposes a BJP backed sting. Think about it. Who would have benefited? It is common knowledge that highlighting the role of govt in the riots would have polarized the voters and this polarization would have ONLY benefited BJP (Modi) %u2013 NOT the Congress. If Congress was backing the expose, they would have atleast spoken about it for a week or tried to rake up the issue. Rather, the Congress has been careful in NOT bringing up Godhra riots. There was nothing for BJP (Modi) to loose from this expose. %u2013only gains. It was a strategic, well contrived plan aiming at communalizing the voters and in the process making it seem that the Congress might have been behind the sting. THINK!

Dear Friend, MODI is an answer to people like you who try to show the innocence in train carnage that happened in Godhra though the entire world is suffering Islamic terrorism. I think no other religion in world who is killing people in the name of religion so if nowonwards if you hit then we hit is the policy from hindus also. Make sure you are not on wrong side. Bahut hogaya Bhaichara and secularism ka natak
