VHP yatra banned to secure SP's Muslim vote bank: MG Vaidya

Nagpur, Oct 15 (ANI): After the Samajwadi Party banned the VHP 'Sankalp Diwas' yatra scheduled to be held on October 18, RSS senior leader MG Vaidya said that the yatra is banned in order to secure Muslim vote bank which the SP is fearing to lose on grounds of Muzaffarnagar violence. He further said that the yatra wouldn't have done anything wrong but would have got popularity, but he is not surprised with the move as this is SP's politics. Oct 15, 2013
