Party leader Kumar Vishwas accused the BJP along with its affiliate, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad — Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh’s student wing, of fomenting violence at Delhi University in the last two days.
“ABVP’s actions in Delhi Uni versity are triggered by the BJP’s impending defeat in UP,” Vishwas said. “They are trying to communalise the election,” he added.
Party leader Gopal Rai, who is in charge of Gujarat, MP and Chhattisgarh led a delegation of farmers from Gandhinagar and tribals in Bastar to the Nationa Human Rights Commission against alleged police atrocities
Rai alleged that farmers and their families from 32 villages were attacked by the police on their way to Gandhinagar on February 14.
