Raghvendra Singh, who had claimed that Muslims will have to "wear tilak" if he wins from Domriyaganj, this time threatened to test the DNAs of Hindus who vote for anyone other than him.
Another police case is being filed against BJP MLA Raghvendra Singh for a repeat of hate speech in the viscerally divisive election campaign in Uttar Pradesh. The MLA, who had claimed that Muslims will have to "wear tilak" if he wins from Domriyaganj, this time threatened to test the DNAs of Hindus who vote for anyone other than him.
"If the Hindu is going elsewhere, then the blood of the 'miyan' (derogatory reference to Muslims) is flowing in his veins. He is a traitor and an illegitimate child of Jaichand," the MLA declared, referring to the 12th Century king whose name has become synonymous with "traitor".
"If after so much harassment, a Hindu goes to the other side, he should not be able to show his face. How many of you are Jaichands?" he demanded, heaping invectives upon the audience at a village in his constituency.
As silence greeted his comments, he continued, "Give me their names and I will get their blood tested to see if they are Hindus or Miyans. I will get their DNA test done".
