As election heat grips Madhya Pradesh, the BJP has, over the course of the week, brought up old issues to target Congress’ State president and former Chief Minister Kamal Nath.
On Sunday, a day after the CBI filed a chargesheet against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in connection with the anti-Sikh pogrom of 1984, BJP State president V.D. Sharma questioned the role of Mr. Nath in the same, calling him the “third likely accused” besides Mr. Tytler and another jailed Congress leader [Sajjan Kumar].
He said that it “was likely that the CBI will soon bring the truth about Mr. Nath” in the riots that followed the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in Delhi on October 31, 1984.
