Uttar Pradesh Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya sparked controversy after saying, "Anyone who receives a madrasa education doesn't chant 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' nor sing 'Vande Mataram', and develops a terrorist-like mindset." Reacting to remark, Samajwadi Party leader Shivpal Yadav said, "BJP nurtures terrorists, and they're found right in their offices...BJP provides training to all these terrorists."
