Rao was part of a 12-member BJP delegation led by Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister R Ashok that visited the north-eastern states of Assam,Nagaland,Manipur and Meghalaya.

On Assam violence,Rao said,It was not a communal riot between Hindu and Muslim communities,but a clash between local tribals and Bangladeshi infiltrators.

He alleged that at least 200 families from Myanmar have been illegally migrated to Hyderabad and given shelter in a refugee camp by the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (MIM) party.

The state government should initiate steps to send back these migrants to Myanmar and close the refugee camp, the BJP leader said.
