Akhilesh Yadav and Digvijaya Singh
The BJP on Friday slammed the Uttar Pradesh government for banning Vishwa Hindu Parishad's Sankalp Yatra saying Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav was trying to turn the state into Pakistan.
BJP spokesperson Siddhartha Nath Singh said it was unfortunate that a peaceful rally was being restricted by the Samajwadi Party government.
"SP has always done vote bank politics. For such vote banks, they are restricting sadhus. If Akhilesh Yadav is trying to make Uttar Pradesh into Pakistan, people would not agree," Nath said.
To prevent the Sankalp Yatra in Ayodhya, which has been banned by the state government, the UP Police had on Thursday arrested around 340 people, including former BJP MLA Lalu Singh, and put 42 others under house arrest just a day before the scheduled event.
'Digvijaya is politically bankrupt'
The BJP spokesman also attacked Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh over his latest tweets targeting Gujarat Chief Minister and NDA's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
"Digvijaya is a politically bankrupt person. He has zero knowledge about economics. It is better for him not to comment on such issues. When Narendra Modi came to power, the debt ratio decreased considerably. CID and fiscal deficit is increasing," Nath said.
The Congress leader had earlier said that "Gujarat has one of the highest debt liabilities" in his series of posts on micro-blogging site Twitter.
"Gujarat Govt has highest per capita debt liability which means every citizen of Gujarat has more debt to pay than citizen of any other state," Singh had tweeted.
