Whom does Govt. actually provide security to???

IPL has gone abroad thanks to what else but politics. The fact that IPL was much more accommodating than the govt. expected really shocked the government. Lalit Modi had answers for every hurdle that govt. tried to put and ultimately the decision was taken as they usually are in india ie. at a political level. Now, why i blame political class for IPL going out of India is due to a very basic logic. All that i want to know is, what exactly does government mean when they say that security forces will be busy during election. What will security forces be busy in? I guess they will be busy in providing security to politicians and nothing else. Because if this was not true why else a state will decline to hold matches on a day when by default security on that day is supposed to be very tight due to election. If say, we have elections in Delhi on 25 of April then i would suppose that security in Delhi on 25 is supposed to be very tight irrespective of whether there is a IPL match or not and if thats the case then why is security a issue at all. So if we assume that no security wont be there that would mean that security forces will be busy in providing security to only rallies and to those places where political leadership is present. Such a situation means that every school,college and market is actually unsafe during election. Actually i believe security was never an issue and all that the govt. is worried about is politics. I am sure govt. fears that if IPL is allowed some political party will itself try to create security related problems and put the blame on the govt. and hence gain political mileage out of it. We all know how low politics in India can get. Thats the only reason for govt. to be so worried.
