A political row erupted in Uttar Pradesh after Samajwadi Party legislator Ravidas Mehrotra said there is “no difference between the BJP and terrorists,” accusing the state government of discriminating on the basis of religion and caste during the ongoing Kanwar Yatra. The Bharatiya Janata Party condemned the remarks. Party spokespersons Rakesh Tripathi and Shehzad Poonawalla alleged the Samajwadi Party was pursuing a deliberate strategy to inflame communal tensions ahead of upcoming state polls, and claimed the comments reflected frustration over the anticipated Bihar election results. Samajwadi Party representative Chand Giri sought to distance the organisation from Mehrotra’s statement, calling it his personal view. The exchange underscores the heightened political sensitivity surrounding the Kanwar Yatra and other religious events in the run-up to elections in Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring Bihar.
