As the death toll in the communal clashes reached 26, the Samajwadi Party-led Uttar Pradesh government on Sunday issued arrest warrants against a number of BJP leaders, including the party's Vidhan Sabha leader and former power minister Hukum Singh, for conducting a mahapanchayat -the trigger for the fresh riots in western UP's Muzaffarnagar district.With the 2014 polls approaching, there is a spike in communal polarisation in the state, which could impact the electoral outcome. The police have arrested more than 40 BJP activists so far in connection with the clashes. The BJP condemned the arrest of party activists, alleging the police and the administration worked in connivance to give a communal flavour to the Muzaffarnagar incident.
