The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury here on Monday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of raising the communal pitch once again across the country with an eye on the forthcoming polls to some State Assemblies.
“After the party’s debacle in the Bihar elections despite adopting the ‘Hindu Communal Agenda’, the BJP leaders, including some of the Union Ministers have been claiming that a temple would be built at Ayodhya even with the pending Supreme Court verdict. Stones have been transported to the site and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is silent about it,” he charged, at a press conference.
Joining the issue with the Prime Minister on his recent speech, Mr. Yechury claimed that the BJP and its allied organisations have been “exporting communal theology” and not spiritualism as the former had stated. “How else can we explain the NDA government’s actions in the last one-and-half years,” he asked.
“The government had prior information yet it took six days to neutralise the perpetrators. Will the government continue with its overtures towards Pakistan,” he wondered. At the same time, the CPI(M) leader also wanted the government to continue ‘engaging’ Pakistan.
Responding a question, the CPI(M) leader dismissed the possibility of any association with the Congress for the West Bengal Assembly poll.
