Rival parties playing communal cards: BJP

Varanasi: Ahead of the last phase of Lok Sabha polls, BJP today accused other parties in UP, including Congress, SP and BSP, of playing communal cards as part of their “polarisation politics” as they were

Yesterday also, BJP's general secretary and UP in-charge Amit Shah had said that BJP does not believe in political untouchability and all parties were welcome to join the alliance if they wanted to be a partner in the nation's development.

The debate about post-poll alliance was triggered after Modi indicated two days back that more allies could join the NDA. However, leaders like Mayawati and Mamta Bannejee have already said that they would not support BJP and Modi under any circumstances.

Hitting out at Congress and other parties, Singh said they were trying to play communal cards as they do not have any achievements to showcase before the voters.

“There are many political parties besides Congress who have played communal card, but today they are suffering from depression and are now trying to divert attention by talking about issues like religion to do politics of polarisation,” Singh said.

“At the same time, these parties are also accusing BJP of indulging in divisive politics. The fact is that we dont need to do it and we can not do it,” he said, while adding that BJP has already won many state elections in recent past on the issues of development and good governance.
