The violence in JNU has also pitted the Bharatiya Janata Party against the other parties over who was responsible for it, the BJP’s student wing ABVP or the Left. Several Congress leaders have blamed the ABVP for the violence.

Meanwhile, Shatrughan Sinha fought the Lok Sabha elections for Congress last year, before serving as BJP MP.  Luv’s mother Poonam Sinha had fought on a Samajwadi Party ticket last year.
