He said the vicious campaign by the BJP during the elections is the root cause of the caste and communal conflict in the state. Moreover he said the BJP has not changed its conduct after coming to power and is vigorously pursuing rabidly communal agenda for dividing the society on caste and communal lines. He said the probe team send by the party to different areas where incidents of caste and communal conflict occurred have said in their reports that the vicious campaign by the BJP during the elections was the prime cause of tension and conflict.
