Amit Shah's 'revenge' remark in riot-hit area
Over 60 people were killed and nearly 40,000 were displaced in the communal violence that ripped through several areas of western UP in September.
"The elections in Uttar Pradesh, especially in western Uttar Pradesh, is an election for honour, for seeking revenge for the insult, and for teaching a lesson to those who committed injustice," Mr Shah told a gathering of Jats on Thursday in Shamli, one of the worst-affected areas in the riots. Interestingly, the 50-year-old was flanked by BJP legislator Suresh Rana, who is one of those accused of inciting tension between Jats and Muslims during the riots.
The Congress, which has been accused by the BJP of "blatant communalism" and "polarizing" voters after it received the controversial backing of a top Muslim religious leader on Friday, promptly hit back.
"The language used by Amit Shah in a communally-sensitive area like Muzaffarnagar to incite people, can't they see communalism in it," said Congress leader Satyavrat Chaturvedi.
The party has approached the Election Commission, seeking a criminal case against Mr Shah and a ban on his campaigning for the polls.
The BJP, though, dismissed the allegations. "UP government has insulted the people there. It is not a question of Hindus and Muslims... Instead of putting balm on the wounds of the victims, they sprinkled salt. Revenge should be taken for this insult," said BJP spokesperson Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi.
Mr Shah faces charges of murder in connection with a fake encounter case while he was a minister in Mr Modi's Gujarat. But his proven talent in winning elections saw the BJP entrusting him with handling the campaign in Uttar Pradesh, from where Mr Modi will fight his first parliamentary election.

ஆறப்போடு.
ஒண்ணும் அவசரம் இல்லை.
நல்லா ஆறப்போட்டு, நிதானமாக செயல் ஆற்றலாம்.
சும்மா, எடுத்தோம் கவுத்தோம் என்று செயல் ஆற்றிவிட்டு, பிறகு, அழுது புரண்டு என்ன பலன்?
ஒரு நாளைக்கு வேஷம் போடலாம்.
ஒரு மாசத்துக்கு, யாராலே வேஷம் போட முடியும்.
வேஷம் கலைஞ்சு, உண்மை சொரூபம் மக்கள் காணட்டும்.
Albert Einstein said of Mahatma Gandhi that: "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth." A deceptively simple man, Gandhi overturned the greatest Empire the world has ever seen.
Mohandas Karamchand - no body will believe MKG is a gujarathi.
2014 election is not about Congress, BJP and others.
It is all about Gurathis and rest of the India.
The world cannot survive with Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister and
Amit Shah as the Deputy Prime Minister.
