“It is after a great struggle and with a lot of hardships that India became a democratic, secular and socialist country. The Constitution bestows similar rights to all but the BJP is engaged in reducing the social fabric to tatters. The BJP is trying to destroy the Ganga-Jamuni harmony between Hindus and Muslims”, he said in the statement.

Akhilesh said that under the BJP government, atrocities and harassment had increased so far as poor and opposition parties’ leaders and workers were concerned. The intent was to divert public attention from the real issues.

“All that the BJP is interested in is monopoly in power. Through power and deceit, it wants to silence the agitations of the opposition and suppress the voice of the media. The BJP IT cell spreads rumours to incite hatred”, he said.
