Cong, BJP play blame game over Mahabodhi temple terror attack

New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Digvijaya Singh on Monday hinted at a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) conspiracy in the Mahabodhi temple terror strike.

"Flip side of this (Mahabodhi temple blasts). Amit Shah (BJP UP in-charge) promises a Grand Temple at Ayodhya. Modi addresses Bihar BJP workers and asks them to teach Nitish a lesson...Next day bomb blasts at Mahabodhi temple at Bodh Gaya. Is there a connect? I don't know. ALLOW NIA TO COMPLETE INVESTIGATION PLEASE!," Singh posted on micro-blogging Twitter.

The Congress leader also blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party of politicising the Mahabodhi temple terror attack. He hit out at BJP leaders Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Ravi Shankar Prasad on Twitter. He posted, "Rudy- Within two weeks, law and order in Bihar has become very bad! Ravi Shankar Prasad - Pune blast accused did recce quoting Delhi Police.

"Media and BJP - Reaction of Myanmar incidents quoting IB sources. The Bihar government ignored IB input. Aren't they doing politics over the incident? Aren't they suggesting a Muslim involvement without full investigation?" he said.

Ever since the famous 1500-year-old temple in Bodh Gaya was attacked, a blame game is on between the Congress and the BJP. The BJP had on Sunday accused the Congress and the Bihar government of security lapse.
