Exodus of Hindu families from Kairana is a real issue and the BJP will bring back people who allegedly migrated due to fear of the Muslim majority in the area if it is voted to power, according to the party’s controversial MLA Sangeet Som, who has again got a ticket from Sardhana in western UP. In an interview to Economic Times , he dismissed the riot CD being screened from his poll vehicle, which was seized and an FIR lodged in the matter, as the handiwork of “frustrated” Samajwadi Party workers.
An objectionable CD has been seized from your campaign and the BJP is facing criticism for giving you a ticket that it is attempting polarisation in western UP by fielding those accused in Muzaffarnagar riots…
This CD is just a compilation of TV news reports in the past. The complaint has been lodged by SP workers who are frustrated. I will advise SP that elections cannot be won like this. Yeh ticket kya pehli baar di hai (Have I been given a ticket for the first time)? I am the sitting MLA from Sardhana. People in the opposition who are raising this controversy are in fact the ones trying to do polarisation. In entire western UP, and for that matter in UP, communal clashes and riots happened again and again in the last five years under the SP rule. In Sardhana, not even a stone was thrown in the last five years. This is the way Hindus and Muslims stay peacefully and harmoniously in my constituency. Yes, I fought for the people during Muzaffarnagar (riots) for the sake of saving bahu-beti ki izzat (honour of women)... seena thok ke ladai ladi (I fought openly). Some people did not like it and put me in jail. If fighting for sake of bahu-beti ki izzat, I will do it till end of my life… 887 boys are in jail for four long years now, falsely implicated for the Muzaffarnagar riots… has SP government thought of them? I have promised them that if our government comes, I will ensure they are released.
