Vote bank politics responsible for communal tension: MP CM

September 23, 2013 14:15

Holding that vote bank politics was a major factor behind communal frenzy, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today said one group or organisation should not be made a scapegoat and held responsible for such instances.

He also expressed his concern over the spread of cyber terrorism and crimes through social media platforms and advocated an effective law to check the menace.

"Our view is that justice is for everybody, opportunities are for everyone and refusal to no one. Our vision is clear. We believe that the immediate frenzy of communalism has a root in vote bank politics," he said.
