Team News Riveting
Lucknow, January 14
Iqbal Ansari, the main petitioner in the Babri Masjid demolition case, has welcomed the decision of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) to field Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath from Ayodhya in the ensuing Assembly elections.
Ansari said that Muslims did not suffer under the BJP government and there were no riots.
“CM Adityanath will ensure further development and Ayodhya’s Muslim community will also vote for him. Our community is with CM Adityanath. A lot has changed in the last five years. Now, the agenda of employment and development should only be the upcoming government’s priority,” he further said.
The BJP’s decision to field Yogi Adityanath from Ayodhya indicates that the party would go with the hardcore Hindutva agenda along with projecting the model of development. Ayodhya fulfils both, the marvellous and majestic Ram temple underlining BJP’s Hindutva committed and the development in the city indicating Yogi’s achievement in the sector. This will mark a significant moment for the voters of Ayodhya.
Meanwhile, Yogi Adityanath’s candidature has been welcomed by the cross section of the societies, right from the people to the saints.
Elections for the 403 assembly constituencies in Uttar Pradesh will be held in seven phases starting February 10, the Election Commission said. The polling in Uttar Pradesh will be held on February 10, 14, 20, 23, 27 and March 3 and 7 in seven phases. The counting of votes will take place on March 10.
