Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) [India], December 30 (ANI): After Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took a jibe at ongoing excavation claiming a Shivling can be found at the Chief Minister’s residence, Uttar Pradesh Minister OP Rajbhar asked him why did he not get the excavation done when he was the Chief Minister.
Hitting out at Yadav, OP Rajbhar stated that he is making such “baseless” statements to secure his Muslim votes.
“He is making statements to secure his vote bank. He is making such baseless statements so that his Muslim vote bank does not slip away. If he knew about this, then why did he not get the excavation done when he was the Chief Minister?… Samajwadi Party only wants the votes of Muslims, they do not do any work, and here (NDA) they are not asking for votes and are also doing work,” Rajbhar told ANI.
Earlier on Sunday, Samajwadi Party (SP) Chief Akhilesh Yadav, in a jibe at the ongoing excavation work in Uttar Pradesh, suggested that a Shivling might also be found at the residence of the state’s Chief Minister.
“Since the excavation work is underway, I believe that there is a Shivling at the Chief Minister’s residence too… we have faith that the Shivling is there,” Yadav remarked, implying that such discoveries were allegedly being overly dramatized for political purposes.
He further stated, “We should all prepare for its excavation… The media should go first, and we will join after that.”
On the upcoming Kumbh Mela, Yadav acknowledged the religious and cultural significance of the event but raised concerns about the arrangements.
“The Kumbh should end with fervor. And if the government wants any help, our party members are ready to assist. But the arrangements we have seen, we have noticed that some work is pending. How are they going to complete all that in just 13 days?” he questioned. (ANI)
