Communal Violence “Desperate Conspiracy” After Election Win: BJP Chief

BJP President JP Nadda addresses party members in Karnataka

Hospet, Karnataka:

BJP President JP Nadda today said the recent communal violence during Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti yatras is a “conspiracy” of disintegration in the society, and accused the Congress of acting in a “most irresponsible” manner. .

Addressing party members at the state executive committee meeting in Karnataka’s Hospet, Mr Nadda linked the violence to the recent results of five state assembly elections, in which the BJP showed an impressive performance.

“The historic mandate given to BJP in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur has shocked some people. Therefore, in desperation, he has associated himself with the conspiracies of those working to break the society. Processions during Hanuman Jayanti and Ram Navami,” Mr Nadda said.

Attacking the ruling BJP’s main opposition Congress in Karnataka, he said the previous Siddaramaiah government had freed members of the Muslim outfit PFI, which has been accused by several BJP leaders of inciting militancy and violence.

“Our government will take action against the culprits,” Nadda said. He alleged that the Congress used to spare terrorists when it was in power.

He befriends the disintegrating forces internally, but pretends otherwise on the outside, he said. “It is necessary to expose them,” the BJP leader said.
