Instigating religious sentiments to divert larger issues: Mayawati accuses BJP

Lucknow: Addressing a press conference, Mayawati, the president of Bahujan Samaj Party on Wednesday alleged that BJP is trying to divert people's attention from lager issues like unemployment, poverty and rising inflation by instigating religious sentiments.

She accused BJP of deliberately targeting religious spaces of communities and warned everyone to be vigilant about the conspiracy of the ruling party.

She warned that the situation in the country could take a turn for the worse in the coming days.

The BSP president said that issues like Gyanvapi mosque, Mathura and Taj Mahal were being raised to weaken the nation.

"The names of places belonging to a particular religious community are also being changed one by one. This will disturb peace, harmony, brotherhood and lead to mutual hatred in the country. The general public of this country should be alert. This will neither benefit the country nor the general public," she stated.
