Union Home Minister Amit Shah took aim at the opposition party in India on Wednesday, stating that if it wins the current Lok Sabha elections, it would install a “Babri” lock at the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Speaking at a rally in favour of Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) candidate from Lakhimpur Kheri for the Lok Sabha, Shah also accused the Congress, Samajwadi Party (SP), and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) of defaming Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the saffron party by claiming that reservation would be eliminated if they win 400 seats in the current election.
The senior BJP leader said though it is not going to happen, if the opposition parties come to power, they will put a “Babri naam ka tala (Babri lock)” at the Ram temple.
He said Modi not only won the legal dispute involving the Ram Janmabhoomi, but also performed the “bhoomi puja (groundbreaking ceremony)” of the Ram temple and its “pran pratishtha” (consecration) was held in January.
“After the first three phases of the Lok Sabha polls, Modiji has crossed 190 seats…. In the fourth phase, under Modiji’s leadership, we are strongly heading towards 400 seats, while the SP, BSP and Congress have been wiped out,” Shah said.
Lakhimpur Kheri will go to polls in the fourth phase of the election on May 13. The counting of votes will be taken up on June 4.
