Nishad Party leader Arjun Kashyap blamed Bharatiya Janata Party for the death of a constable in stone pelting in Ghazipur on December 29 last year, saying his party workers did not pelt stones at the policemen and it was the handiwork of some BJP leaders.
Kashyap, while admitting that his party supporters might have resorted to stone pelting, denied that they attacked the policemen.
“BJP, which is in power, is behind the incident. Its partymen are the main culprits,” he said.
The Nishad Party leader also accused Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of not fulfilling the demands of the Nishad community.
