BJP president Nitin Gadkari has appointed a three-member team of senior party leaders led by Maneka Gandhi to visit the riot-hit Bareilly and submit a report on the events there.
"We will be leaving tomorrow for Bareilly and will be back by evening," Gandhi told PTI.
The team, consisting of Gandhi, Gorakhpur MP Yogi Adityanath and Meerut MP Rajendra Agarwal, is expected to submit a report to the party president on the steps taken to control the riots and the relief given to the affected people.
Curfew has been clamped in most parts of Bareilly, which witnessed spiralling communal violence.
Gandhi is an MP from Aaonla, which is adjacent to Bareilly.
BJP sources said the party is unhappy with the manner in which the Uttar Pradesh government led by Mayawati has handled the riots.
