Akhilesh paying lip service to riot victims: BJP

The BJP Monday said the rape of a girl from a relief camp housing the Muzaffarnagar riot victims was a "sad reflection" on the Uttar Pradesh government.

BJP state spokesman Vijay Bahadur Pathak accused the Samajwadi Party government of failing to create confidence among the riot-hit victims of Muzaffarnagar.

He said Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav had failed to instil the fear of law in the minds of anti-social elements.

A girl living in a relief camp was raped by two youth in Muzaffarnagar. Both have since been arrested.

Pathak said the policies of the state government had led to a deep rooted religious divide in western Uttar Pradesh.
