Jaipur, Apr 03: Deputy PM LK Advani today gave a clean chit to Gujarat government on post-Godhra riots saying that the government was not responsible for the disturbance. He was quick to point that had there been no Godhra there would have been no riots.
Denying the charges of the riots being state-sponsored Advani went all out to praise the state government for the commendable work it was doing for the development of Gujarat.

Though the riots, he said, were unfortunate but that does not mean that the government slept over them. Had the state machinery not been active, he added, it would also have failed to protect citizens during the Akshardham carnage, which he termed as a more serious tragedy than riots.
Advani praised Gujarat government for its good governance and excellent administration.

Advani’s yatra enters the 22nd day today. His convoy would today reach Agra via Dausa and Bharatpur. Bureau Report
