The attack on Yadav was sharply denounced by BJP OBC Morcha National General Secretary Dr. Nikhil Anand, who called it a planned plot. He condemned the incident as an assault on the democratic process, underlining that political disagreements should never lead to violence.
Anand stressed that the perpetrators of the attack ought to be held accountable and that an in-depth investigation into the attack is important.
