Kairana row: BJP, opposition take potshots at each other

“BJP has given it a communal colour for political reasons. It is condemnable. Thanks to media probe it was forced to
backtrack. Poor law and order is a problem there, as is the case in many parts of Uttar Pradesh,” he said. BJP national secretary Shrikant Sharma, however, insisted that the party had from day one called it a law and order problem and not linked the migration to any religion.

Taking a swipe at JD(U) and RJD, he said they should rather concentrate on Bihar which, he alleged, suffered from “crumbling” law and order situation. “We are not objecting to their visit. But the delegation of these parties has gone there to vitiate the atmosphere there. JD(U) and RJD could not run Bihar and are now visiting UP to vitiate the atmosphere there,” he said.
