Dushyant Chautala's comments on the Nuh violence appeared to blame the organisers of the religious rally, who have ties to the BJP, and contradicted his partner.
The strain in ties between the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) and BJP, which govern Haryana together, was laid bare once again following the violence that began in the Nuh district on Monday. In a statement on the carnage that has left six people dead and scores of establishments burned down, Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, the leader of the JJP, appeared to criticise the handling of the situation.
"The yatra organisers did not give complete information about the procession to the district administration, which resulted in the violence. Strict action will follow against those responsible for the incident," he said.
