Communist Party of India (Marxist) Central committee member Subhasini Ali alleged complicity of the Akhilesh Yadav Government with the BJP and its organisations in the Muzaffarnagar violence that had taken a toll of 49 lives.
“The situation in Muzaffarnagar and its adjoining districts is explosive and women and children of both the communities are the most harassed lot,’’ the firebrand former MP told a news conference here in the presence of UP CPI(M) Secretary SP Kashyap, on Tuesday afternoon.
Ali, who visited Muzaffarnagar and other affected places on last Friday, claimed that the Samajwadi Party Government did not take any pre-emptive action to contain the violence despite prior indications. “The conspiracy has been exposed by not arresting the accused including the BJP MlAs and the leaders of other political parties,’’ she said. She claimed that the BJP and its organisations are hell-bent on communal polarisation of the society to derive political mileage in the 2014 lok Sabha elections.
“Failure of the UPA-11 Government and the projection by BJP of Narendra Modi as its PM candidate has made the situation more grave,’’ she alleged.
