BJP raked up issue to divert attention from defeat: Maya

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Tuesday charged BJP with raking up the Kairana exodus issue to divert the attention of people from its defeat in Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council polls in UP and made a fresh demand for imposition of President's rule in the state on law and order grounds. 

She alleged that by raking up the issue of exodus of Hindu families from Kairana, BJP was "conspiring to foment communal passions", but its efforts were thwarted by the media.

"As a part of planned conspiracy, the Kairana issue was raised within a few hours of the biennial poll outcome and it was projected that Muslims were forcing Hindus to leave UP.
