BJP leader and the State's Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis lashed out at the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance for allegedly yielding to demands from the Ulema Council, a Muslim clerical body.
In an interview with ANI, Fadnavis said that the Ulema Council had presented 17 demands to the MVA, which the alliance reportedly accepted through a formal letter.
«The Ulema Council declared support to them, and they put forward 17 demands. They (MVA) have given a formal letter that says we accept these 17 demands. I have no objection if someone puts forward any demands; I just question which of these demands are acceptable. I will tell you one demand,» he said.
«One demand is: all cases against the Muslim community in riots from 2012 to 2024 should be dismissed and taken back. I want to ask, what kind of politics is this?» Fadnavis added, «If any party wants to fight elections by taking along such rioters, and we remain divided (Batenge), we will be culled (Katenge),» he added.
Highlighting BJP's stance on religious unity, Fadnavis cited the slogan coined by Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath saying, «When Yogi says, 'Batenge tho Katenge,' he is reminding us of history.» Fadnavis added, «This land belongs to our ancestors, like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, not to Razakars.»
