Shah dares Akhilesh to stop temple construction

Gorakhpur: Union home minister and BJP's chief poll strategist Amit Shah dared Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav to stop the construction of grand Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Addressing a public rally in Sant Kabir Nagar on Friday afternoon, Shah reminded people that it was the Samajwadi Party led government that had ordered firing on ‘karsewaks’ in Ayodhya.
Criticising Congress as well as the SP for not supporting government action against terrorists, the BJP leader said that “when terrorists had attacked Uri and Pulwama, they had forgotten that ‘mouni baba’ (Manmohan Singh) was not the PM. Under the leadership of the PM Narendra Modi we killed terrorists within 10 days of the attack through air and surgical strikes.”
Praising the PM for getting renovated the ‘darbar’ of Baba Vishwanath, he asked people whether the SP and the BSP had the will to accomplish this task. Shah also lauded Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for initiating strict steps against mafia and taking measures to check spread of encephalitis in the region. He thanked the people of UP for electing the BJP to power in the state as well as at the Centre.
Exuding confidence, he said that the BJP would form the majority government in the state after the assembly elections next year. “Whereever I go I see a huge crowd. We will win over 300 seats in the upcoming polls in the state,” he added.
