Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Minister Shivpal Singh Yadav also gave the BJP leaders an ultimatum of one month to mend their ways failing which he said his party would expose them.
"SP government will give befitting reply to BJP leaders and workers if they create tension in the society. I am giving one month ultimatum to BJP to mend their ways otherwise we will starting exposing them," Yadav told reporters here.
Saying that BJP leaders were raising law and order issue, Yadav said there was no such problem on this front and strict action was initiated wherever needed.
"BJP men deliberately tried to orchestrate riots at several places in the state. They raked up issues like love jihad and conversion but we will take strict action against such practice," Yadav said.
When asked about "missing" posters cropping up against SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav in his constituency Azamgarh, Yadav said, netaji would visit there once the weather improves.
Reacting to SP's ultimatum, BJP spokesman Vijay Bahadur Pathak said the ruling party should stopped using threatening langauge.
"They should stop threatening us. If they have some issue, they should come forward and the party would give a reply. SP men were using such language to divert people's attention from their failures," Pathak alleged.
