BJP MP Yogi Adityanath on Sunday spewed venom once again saying that communal tensions have been on the rise in areas where minority population have been more than 20 percent. "Trend in riots in nation shows that places where Muslim population is 10-20% communal tension is more,” Adityanath said. Adityanath said that areas where Muslims population is more than 40% have witnessed an exodus of non-muslims. He said they are forced to leave the place otherwise they are wiped out. "Places where Muslim population is more than 40% there is no place for non-muslims. They (non muslims) are forced to migrate from there else they are wiped out,” said Adityanath, who is among three party leaders entrusted with leading BJP campaign for the upcoming bye-elections in Uttar Pradesh.
