Commenting on yesterday's blasts in Gorakhpur, Singh said "the perpetrators of the crime need to be brought to book at any cost, the moral of these elements have increased manifold due to absence of a strict law," he added.

Singh came down heavily on the UPA government at the Centre saying that it failed to find a replacement for POTA yet.

"Although, UPA managed to remove POTA owing to their policy of appeasement, they have not yet found a proper replacement to it. The result is apparent," Singh alleged.
