Panaji: Incidents like the lynching in Dadri, near the national capital last month, will actually damage the BJP and the NDA, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said, even as he gave a clean chit to the RSS vis-a-vis rising incidents of communal violence.

Parrikar who was speaking during a public interaction event near here, late on Sunday, also said that some of the incidents were being "blown out of proportion" by vested political interests.
