Lethal haul near Ayodhya - Maya smells plot to fuel communal strife

Thursday, May 24 : Uttar Pradesh stumbled from serial blasts to a cache of explosives powerful enough to blow up “half the temples in Ayodhya”. The explosives were found at Faizabad railway station today, a day after the tiffin-box blasts in Gorakhpur.

About 10 kg of explosives and 20 litres of ammonium nitrate, which makes a deadly mix in combination with kerosene or diesel, were seized by police from the second-class waiting room on platform 1 of Faizabad station.

Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayavati and rainbow (Dalit/ST/ SC /Muslim/Brahmin etc.) coalition leader pinned the blame on political rivals. “There appears to be a big conspiracy behind the Gorakhpur blasts.... The Samajwadi Party and the BJP are frustrated (by the poll defeat) and want to disturb communal amity,” she said. “If they try any tricks, they will be thwarted.”
