Rowdy elements emboldened when SP came to power: BJP
28 Oct 2012 5:12 AM IST
Condemning the communal violence in Faizabad and Barabanki districts of UP, BJP on Friday alleged that Samajwadi Party's 'appeasement' politics was responsible for such incidents.
Expressing concern at the increasing frequency of such violence in the state since Akhilesh Yadav government came to power, the party alleged that 'radical elements among the minority community' were involved in them and demanded stern action against the culprits.
'BJP strongly condemns the communal violence in Faizabad and Barabanki and demands stern action against the culprits who had attacked the Durga puja procession on Dussehra...More than 35 communal incidences in less than 11 months have taken place in UP after Akhilesh Yadav took over.
There is a deliberate design to create communal strife all over UP,' BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said.
He alleged that Faizabad is not the only place in the state which has witnessed communal violence. He recalled a case of stone pelting and killing of a devotee in Badarsa on Dussehra, desecration of Durga idol in Rudoli.
Javadekar maintained that in the last 75 days, there have been communal riots in five places in UP and seven people have lost their lives.
BJP alleged that the'radical elements among the minority community' are involved in them. The Opposition said a communal atmosphere has been created in UP with the blessings of the SP government.
Former BJP president Rajnath Singh charged the Akhilesh Yadav government alleging that, 'Whenever the Samjwadi Party comes in power, communal riots increase', Singh said. 'SP has failed on each and every front.... It is the duty of the elected government not to be biased against any cast, creed or religion.'
Javdekar said, 'What is worse is that police are unable to react even when they are attacked, leave alone taking action when attacks take place on festivities. Their hands are tied.'
'It is the utter failure of the UP govt to contain this sequel of deliberate and planned communal attacks. It seems that such rowdy elements have been emboldened soon after SP came to power in the state,' he said.
