An FIR was registered against a BJP leader on Friday, 19 April, for his bigoted statements against Muslims.

"A case has been registered against BJP leader Ranjit Bahadur Srivastava for violation of model code of conduct. A probe is on in the matter," Additional Superintendent of Police RS Gautam said.

Vote for BJP to “Break Morale of Muslims”

Addressing a gathering on Thursday, 18 April, as BJP candidate Upendra Rawat filed his nomination papers from Barabanki Lok Sabha constituency, Ranjit Bahadur Srivastava had asked people to vote for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to "break the morale of Muslims".

"In the past five years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made attempts to break the morale of the Muslims. Vote for PM Modi if you want to destroy the breed of Muslims. Despite partition, the Muslim population is increasing in the country and soon they will be able to get the grip on the power through voting," said Srivastava.

"Muslims want to grab power with their votes, but they will not succeed. It's the right time for Hindus to unite," the former Nagar Palika chairperson added.

The BJP leader also said, “After the Lok Sabha elections, the party will bring machines from China to shave 10-12 thousands of Muslims and later will force them to adopt Hindu religion,” reported ANI.

He asked people to vote for the BJP in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections or else, "get ready to face consequences if you do not vote for the BJP."
