Mathura:Uttar PradeshPowerMinister Shrikant Sharma, who is on a two-day tour in Mathura, taking a jibe at Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi, said that both of them do politics on dead bodies which they should not. Sharma said they should introspect.

Speaking about the Rajasthan Temple priest's murder incident, he said that it is a very embarrassing and very regrettable incident. "We believe that the government there will work on this whole episode very seriously. But there should be no politics on deaths," Sharma said.

"Congress party and especially Mr Rahul Gandhi ji and his sister Priyanka ji, these people do politics on dead bodies. They should not do that. If you have sensitivity then why didn't you go to the priest's house, your family did not hug them. Do not do politics on such incidents, it is very wrong. It is a heinous crime. The guilty should not be spared. But there should be no politics on this," he added.

Suggesting the both Rahul and Priyanka should self-contemplate, Sharma asked why they have double standards.

"If such incidents have happened, then you condemn it but politics should not happen," Sharma said.

From late evening till late night, Sharma inspected various places and while talking to locals, attacking West Bengal government said that Didi does not believe in a democratic system, she knows that her land is slipping in West Bengal.

Talking on BJP workers being jailed in West Bengal he said that Didi is furious in West Bengal, and does not believe in a democratic system. Those of his former people in West Bengal were also chased because Didi is undemocratic.

He added that even though, Left governments have ended there, Didi is two steps ahead of the Left and so she knows that her land has shifted. That's why BJP workers who are frustrated there are being oppressed, murdered.

Sharma inspected the District Hospital, Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi, Holi Gate, etc., the heart of the city, and gave necessary guidelines to the officials concerned if deficiencies were found. During the tour, the energy minister was seen attacking various political parties.
