Diggy accuses BJP of communalising politics
Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Sunday accused BJP of attempting to communalise politics in the run up to the Lok Sabha elections, He also asked non-BJP ruled states, including Bihar led by chief minister Nitish Kumar, to be careful of the saffron party’s designs.
“I saw Ravishankar Prasad saying that probably Pune Bakery blasts culprits were also doing recee (of the Bodhgaya temple site). This is the kind of politics of hate and communalism in which the BJP specialises in.”
Asking BJP to desist from such politics, the Congress leader said, “For God’s sake, please let the investigation be completed and please do not communalise each act of terrorism... The BJP and the Sangh want to communalise politics in India again in the run up to the Lok Sabha elections.”
Mr Singh was reacting to the BJP leader’s statement after the Mahabodhi temple blasts that there were media reports about intelligence briefs on the people behind the Pune German bakery blast having also recceed the temple site.
“The non-BJP ruled states must be careful and more so, Mr Nitish Kumar should be more careful,” Mr Singh told reporters here.
The advise by the Congress leader to the Bihar chief minister comes at a time when the BJP and the JD(U) have ended their 17-year-old alliance recently.
Attacking the Centre and the state government for failing to prevent the blasts in Mahabodhi temple, Mr Prasad in the morning said, “We were told that there were repeated intelligence briefs including those involved in the German bakery case...”
