With an eye on the crucial Uttar Pradesh assembly polls early next year, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Amit Shah on Sunday trained his guns at the state’s Samajwadi Party (SP) government and raised the issue of alleged “migration” of Hindus from Kairana and the recent Mathura violence. Speaking at his presidential address at the National Executive meet in Allahabad, Shah said:
The incident at Kairana (town in Shamli district) where a large number of people are migrating is very unfortunate. The Mathura violence was also very unfortunate. The SP government has been unable to control the situation. There is no peace. Here, the atmosphere is of violence and the state government has failed to control all these.
