New Delhi: The Samajwadi Party has promised to built Ram Mandir in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya much earlier than the BJP has planned to built. But they will do so only if they come to power. The BJP responded with challenging Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav to announce he would build a temple in Lord Krishna’s birthplace in Mathura.
Today At Rajya Sabha, Samajwadi Party MP Ram Gopal Yadav responded to a swipe a the Samajwadi Party Chef Akhilesh Yadav, by BJP’s Amit Shah amid stopping the temple a line of attack that the BJP has been using in UP to allude that Samajwadi Party prefers to work for Muslims.
“The Home Minister said in Chitrakoot that no matter how hard Akhilesh Yadav tries, he cannot stop the temple work. But who is stopping temple work?” Ram Gopal Yadav said today.
Further he levelled that these people are stealing from the temple. He stated that if SP comes to power the work will be done faster and better. He said, “These people are stealing from the temple. But if Akhilesh Yadav’s government comes to power, the temple will be made faster and better.”
He said that if the party comes to power, temple donation theft will stop.

The party further alleged that the property next to the Ram Janmabhoomi site was traded for 18 crore – a property was traded at a multi-fold markup and its price went from ₹ 2 crore to over ₹ 18 crore in a matter of minutes when the deal was signed.
These allegations were dismissed by the allegations.
The SP MP also levelled that Amit Shah and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath have been using “unparliamentary language. “If you call Akhilesh Yadav a goon, would the community vote for you?” he said.
“It is a matter of great concern if the leaders sitting in high positions try to cause riots in Uttar Pradesh. Every day, leaders reach Saharanpur and Deoband and make inflammatory speeches,” Ram Gopal Yadav said.
Union Minister Shandilya Giriraj Singh hit back at Ram Gopal Yadav over his comments that BJP leaders have been trying to communalise the UP election campaign.
“I challenge Akhilesh Yadav to announce that he will proceed to build a temple in Lord Krishna’s birthplace. Make him announce to build a temple at Lord Krishna’s Janmabhoomi by taking the oath of Ganga jal (water),” Giriraj Singh told NDTV.
The BJP leader said the allegation of communalising the election campaign is wrong. “Who raised the question of Jinnah? Akhilesh Yadav raised Pakistan in the election campaign,” he said.
Akhilesh Yadav’s remark in November last year apparently bracketing Pakistan founder Muhammed Ali Jinnah with Sardar Patel had stirred a hornet’s nest, with UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath calling it “Talibani mindset”.
