A fight seems to have broken out in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over its Kairana campaign between member of Parliament from that constituency Hukum Singh and Sardhana Assembly member Sangeet Som. Both are members of the BJP. Som has been publicly warned by Singh to stay away from the Kairana campaign. Meanwhile, the Uttar Pradesh administration has denied reports of any Hindu family fleeing Kairana in recent times allegedly due to harassment by Muslim crime rings in the area. The UP Assembly polls are due next year and everyone is trying to get a word in edgeways. The Bajrang Dal has got into the act, alleging that Hindus are leaving Agra, Deoband and sundry other places in the state.
