BJP slams Mulayam over 'appeasement politics'

BJP on Monday slammed Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav over the Muzaffarnagar riots even as he tried to "appease Muslims" with his politics.

"Before raising finger at BJP's prime ministerial candidate, why does SP supremo not answer who was responsible for riots during his son's Akhilesh Yadav government," party's chief spokesman Vijay Bahadur Pathak said and stated that the words of secularism of the SP were farce.

Pathak questioned that how Mulayam, who supported Congress led government at the Centre, was talking about the third front.

"His dream of the third front will remain a dream. He is equally responsible for price rise and corruption during UPA government," Pathak said.
