Attacking Samajwadi Party’s PDA pitch yet again, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday accused the party of not standing with the Hindus during the communal riots. Addressing a public meeting in Aligarh to observe the fourth death anniversary of former U.P. Chief Minister Kalyan Singh, Mr. Adityanath alleged, “Those who want to break the unity of society by talking of PDA didn’t speak for Hindu victims during the communal riots of Aligarh, Bareilly, Meerut, and Muzaffarnagar.”
Mr. Adityanath specified that the Hindu victims of communal violence included Dalits, backward classes, businessmen, and Hindus belonging to the general category. “Only the BJP stood for them for we believe in development and security for all but appeasement of none,” he claimed.
