'BJP's Rath Yatra would encourage communal violence'

Pondicherry, Apr 7: AICC General Secretary V Narayansamy today claimed the 'Rath Yatra'' by BJP leaders Rajnath Singh and L K Advani will trigger communal violence in the country.

Talking to newspersons here, he alleged that the BJP's Rath Yatra was to discredit the Congress, since the BJP wanted to destablise the economy of the country and split people on the basis of religion.

Mr Narayanasamy also alleged that the yatra was planned to divert the attention of the people from the achievements of the Central Government, since the BJP is riddled with factional feuds.

On the proposed formation of a third front by Mulayama Singh Yadav with the support of Telegu Desam Party (TDP) and AIADMK, he said the people had rejected the third front concept in our country.

The Centre's move to provide reservation to BC and SC in Government-run IIT and IIM would help poor students to pursue higher education, he added.
