Lucknow, May 18: Mayawati, the leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), stated on Wednesday that the government is targeting religious places and a certain population in order to divert public attention away from unemployment and increasing inflation.
“Religious places here are being targeted by the BJP and its associates to divert attention from unemployment, skyrocketing inflation, and other issues. This is not hidden from anyone. The situation here can deteriorate any time”, said Mayawati.
There is a scheme, according to the BSP leader, to incite people on religious grounds.
“Years after independence, the manner in which religious sentiments of people are being instigated as part of a conspiracy, under the pretext of Gyanvapi, Mathura, Taj Mahal and other places, will not strengthen the country. The BJP needs to take note of it,” she added.
Earlier Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of the Samajwadi Party (SP), criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre on Tuesday, saying that Gynavapi-style occurrences are part of the party’s ‘hate calendar’ and a deliberate attempt to avoid dealing with inflation and unemployment.
