Slamming the BJP for the ongoing violence in Delhi, Maharashtra’s NCP president Jayant Patil on Tuesday said that the people in the country expected “development model” from the BJP and not “Gujarat riot model” and hoped that the people in the Government would take steps to ensure against a repeat of 2002 in the national capital.
In a strong statement issued against the ruling BJP at the Centre for ongoing riots over CAA, Patil — who is also the State Water Resources Minister — said: “At a time when the President of the United States Donald Trump is on a visit to India, violence has erupted in the national capital. After the violence, there is tension all over Delhi”.
“In yesterday’s violence, eight persons, including a head constable of the Delhi police, have so far been killed, while many were injured. Section 144 of IPC ( unlawful Assembly) has been clamped. Whatever happening in the national capital is dangerous,” the State NCP president said.
