Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath today hit out at opposition parties leading protests against the alleged gang-rape and murder case in Hathras. The chief minister accused the Opposition of hatching conspiracies against the state and said that they are “doing politics on the basis of caste, religion and region.”
“People who have been dividing the society on the basis of caste, religion and region, are still doing it,” a news agency quoted CM as saying. “They can’t see development, and so they’re hatching new conspiracies,” he added.
“One must recognise those who are doing politics on the death of a person,” ANI further quoted Adityanath as saying.
The state chief minister’s comments come as several opposition leaders have been visiting the Hathras district to meet the woman’s family.
On Saturday, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and party’s general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra met the family of the woman. The visit which followed a dramatic standoff with the police at the Delhi-UP border was the Congress leaders’ second attempt.
After Gandhi siblings, many other leaders from Aam Aadmi Party, Trinamool Congress, Samajwadi party also visited the district.
