Aligarh, Jan 14: "Did any big politician die in Hindu-Muslim riots? Why don't politicians die? Set fire to politicians who try to make you fight on the basis on religion; then they will understand and stop 'burning' others," said BJP ally and minister in the Uttar Pradesh government, OP Rajbhar.

Addressing a rally at Aligarh on Sunday, he wondered why only common people, not politicians, die  in communal riots. "Neta kyun nahi marta," Rajbhar questioned.

The minister, who has often been critical of the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh, went on to say that "Netas create divisions between Hindus and Muslims" although the constitution deems any person eligible to cast his vote a citizen of India and "they can't be thrown out".
