Bareilly: Taking a dig at the BJP, the SP-BSP-RLD alliance candidate for Aonla constituency, Ruchi Veera, said that RSS and BJP had “destroyed” communal harmony completely in the country and that West UP had suffered the worst from their “politics of hatred”.“The Ganga-Jamuna tehzeeb will be ruined thoroughly for good if BJP is voted to power this time again. We have witnessed how people from the minority community were attacked and killed by saffron goons in Peda of Bijnor in 2016,” she alleged during her first media interaction after she was fielded on Aonla seat on behalf of BSP. Veera has been SP MLA from Bijnor in the 16th UP assembly.Veera expressed her gratitude to BSP chief Mayawati for showing confidence in her. “It has been a great responsibility which is given to me by my leader to contest from a constituency which is new for me. But I am highly grateful to Mayawati and leader of our alliance parties – Akhilesh Yadav and Ajit Singh,” she said.Asked why she was denied ticket from her stronghold Bijnor, Veera said, “Anyone can contest from anywhere. When Modiji contested from Varanasi in 2014, it was a new constituency, even outside his home-state Gujrat. I am confident as we have a very strong base in Aonla also.”Veera also criticised the incumbent MP and former MPs for neglecting the constituency, terming Aonla as backward so far as development was concerned. “Since no sugar mill was set up here, farmers in Aonla are forced to grow potato, wheat and paddy only. They have no direct road to reach Meerganj in the absence of a bridge on the river Ramganga,” she said.While countering a question related to appeasement politics in regard to the Peda riots which broke out in 2016 in Bijnor, Veera said, “The people of the minority community were attacked. I stand with the victims without considering their caste or religion. Since BJP came to power at the Centre and after that in UP, the atmosphere of communal harmony has been destroyed to a large extent. They have been doing politics in the name of god and the armed forces, which is very disgusting.”
