Mayawati also said that changing the names of the places associated with a particular religion will only create hatred.
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati on Wednesday lashed out at the BJP for allegedly targeting religious places to divert people's attention from issues like poverty, unemployment and inflation and cautioned that it will only weaken the country.
She also said changing the names of the places associated with a particular religion will only create hatred.
"In order to divert people's attention from issues like rising poverty, unemployment and skyrocketing inflation in the country, BJP and its associate organisations are specially targeting religious places and this is not hidden from anyone," Mayawati told newspersons in Lucknow.
"This can spoil the situation anytime. Years after Independence, the manner in which people's religious sentiments are being incited, as part of a conspiracy in the guise of Gyanvapi, Mathura, Taj Mahal and other places, will not strengthen the country but will only weaken it. The BJP needs to pay attention to this," she said.
