Amid the outrage over the Hathras alleged gangrape case, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, on October 4 asserted that some people are trying to incite caste-based and communal tensions in the state. “People, who do not like the progress done by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), are trying to incite caste-based and communal tensions.” The comment came out amid the criticism of Uttar Pradesh administration over Hathras alleged gang-rape case. CM made this statement while chairing a virtual meeting with division, sector and booth level BJP workers through video conferencing in Lucknow.
