The CPI(M) today latched on to reports suggesting variance in the BJP's position on beef consumption in different states, alleging that the saffron party's anti-beef stance was a ploy to target a "particular" community.

The BJP is imposing ban on cow slaughter and closing down illegal abattoirs in Uttar Pradesh, but according to media reports the party is not for imposing the same rule in three north eastern states which go to polls next year.

The three Christian-majority states Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland widely consume beef.

"Well, they claim beef is a matter of "faith" for them.

But it is just a ploy to target a particular community in UP and other states (sic)," CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury tweeted.
