Congress provoking violence in MP: BJP
June 08, 2017
After the government decided to deploy five more battalions in Mandsaur,
where five people were killed in firing to curb violence, the BJP lashed out at the Opposition asserting that Congress
was using this agitation to provoke violence in the state.
Speaking
to ANI, BJP leader GVL Narsimha Rao said, "This government had taken a
series of decision towards the farmers and their demands. The Congress
still cannot stand the success of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief
Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is the state. The Congress is using this
agitation of the farmers for themselves to provoke violence from within
and giving their party a violent colour."
Further hitting out at
the Congress again, another BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya stated that
Congress needs to be blamed as they are grabbing focus in this
violence.
"Madhya Pradesh is a very peaceful place and will
continue to be so. The BJP has always done well for the farmers and have
also paid heed to all their demands. We are trying our best to curb the
violence and also will resort to all their demands. The whole reason
behind this situation is 'Congress' who needs to be blamed as they are
grabbing focus in this violence. The people in that village are smarter
than Rahul and would also know his plan behind his visit," Vijayvargiya
told ANI.
Meanwhile, Superintendent of Police (SP) O.P. Tripathi
on Thursday stated that continuous patrolling was on and violence was
curbed.
