Votes From Polarisation Politics Not Acceptable To BJP: Rajnath Singh

UP polls: Slamming Akhilesh Yadav's party, Rajnath Singh said the Samajwadi Party has to accept the fact that it was in their tenure only that so many riots took place.

On the campaign trail in Uttar Pradesh, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday hit out at the Samajwadi Party and said that BJP seeks votes on the basis of humanity and justice only.

Taking forward Prime Minister Narendra Modi's jibe at Akhilesh Yadav-led party - "Red topi of SP spells red alert", Mr Singh said, "We do not want votes on the basis of caste, creed and religion. We seek votes only on the basis of justice and humanity."

"Samajwadi Party is doing politics of polarisation. They have crossed all limits to get the vote of a particular religion. Votes from polarisation politics are not acceptable to us," he added.

Lauding Yogi Adityanath-led UP government, Mr Singh said, "The Samajwadi Party has to accept the fact that it was in their tenure only that so many riots took place. They need to answer why did this happen. And, you all need to understand why no one could dare to riot under the rule of Bharatiya Janata Party."
