Madhya Pradesh Industries Minister Kailash Vijaywargia said here today that the violence in Chandan Nagar in the city should not be "politicised", but at the same time he also suggested that Congress workers could be involved in the incident.
"Such incidents hamper the development, and no politics should be played," he said while talking to reporters here.
But in reply to a question, he said, without naming anyone, that a Congress leader had said a few days back that "there would be riots in the state".
