Chhattisgarh Chief Minister: "BJP wants to suppress opposition and crush any voice that is against them. Haryana Chief Minister ML Khattar's statement also shows their mentality that wants to end every opposition."
Slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over violence in Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Monday termed the incident as murder adding that the opposition party cannot tolerate any voice against them.
"BJP cannot tolerate any voice that is against them. Most opposition leaders have either been detained or put under house arrest. We demand the Union Minister be removed. This was not an ordinary incident but murder," Mr Baghel told mediapersons.
The Congress has demanded immediate release of party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra who has been allegedly detained by Uttar Pradesh Police in the Hargaon area on her way to Lakhimpur Kheri.
The Congress also demanded the dismissal of Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra Teni from the Union Council of Ministers and the arrest of his son.
