Yogi Adityanath, Bharatiya Janata Party’s lead campaigner for the by-polls in Uttar Pradesh, made yet another controversial statement on Sunday as he blamed people of a minority religion for the state’s recent communal tensions.br br “There have been 450 riots cases in West UP in two-and-a-half years of Samajwadi Party because the population of a particular community is rising manifold. Why there are no riots in Eastern UP? you can easily understand,” he said during a rally in Noida.br br "In places where there are 10 to 20 minorities, stray communal incidents take place. Where there are 20 to 35 of them, serious communal riots take place and where they are more than 35, there is no place for non-Muslims," the Lok Sabha member said.
