<b>Who is afraid of Mulayam Singh?</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Mr Mulayam Singh has every reason to gloat over the Congress dilemma. He used the anti-Bush protest in Delhi to target the Congress for compromising the interests of the minority community. The formidable Left-SP combine staged the protest in Delhi while the Government watched mutely.

Congress doublespeak is apparent from the fact that while it is critical of the SP for playing the minority card on a foreign policy issue, <b>the Prime Minister himself is reportedly ready to discuss the Iran issue with Muslim intellectuals.</b>

The submission of the controversial UC Banerjee committee final report and its televised press conference was once again an obvious conspiracy between the Congress and Railway Minister Lalu Prasad to prevent the Left and the SP from hijacking its minority plank. <b>So scared is the Congress of Mulayam Singh Yadav that a whisper campaign is on in the corridors of power in Delhi that the SP was behind the Varanasi blasts</b>.

But despite all, Mulayam Singh Yadav continues to cock a snook at 10 Janpath.
