Congress tries to woo Mayawati

Around 30 people died in the communal clashes taking place during last four days in Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh. Despite imposing curfew in sensitive areas and heavy police and paramilitary deployment, the clashes couldn’t be controlled Akhilesh Yadav government, reports governor Joshi to UPA government.

His rivals Congress, BSP and BJP swung into action and start the blame-game. Former CM of the state Mayawati, who is desperate to return to power, is demanding for Akhilesh’s resignation. Congress, which needs her support to stay afloat at Center is all praise to her regime and criticizes Akhilesh Yadav for failing to maintain peace in the state.

Congress leader Rasheed Alwi has blamed BJP also. He said ever since BJP decides to promote Narendra Modi as its prime ministerial candidate, Modi has appointed his close aide Amit Shah as BJP-UP state in-charge, who is conspiring this kind of developments in the state to gain control over the state. He alleges that Modi want to create a similar situation of Godra riots that take place in Gujarat, after which he gained stronghold on the state.

BJP argues that state Congress leaders are encouraging the communal clashes to defame the BJP and to destabilize Akhilesh government.

Uttar Pradesh CM Akhilesh Yadav is blaming his rival political parties for politicizing the communal riots, instead of extending their full support to the government in controlling the riot situation. He is fuming on Governor’s report given against his government.
