Rajnath Singh in Delhi questioned the Akhilesh Yadav government and said they are arresting innocent people in order to veil their involvement in the act of violence.
Singh asked, "The sting operation by a television channel clearly proves that the people who are present inside the government have a hand in the riots, so why are they only arresting the BJP legislators?"
BJP legislator Suresh Rana, against whom a court issued non-bailable warrant, was arrested Friday, while another BJP legislator, Sangeet Som surrendered before the police in Uttar Pradesh's Sardhana town Saturday.
