Lormi ( Chhattisgarh), Nov. 10: Raking up the Ram temple issue, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday sought to know whether the Congress was concerned about Lord Ram or Mughal emperor Babur.
While it is a known fact that Lord Ram was born in Ayodhya, the matter is pending before the Supreme Court. Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal had petitioned before the court that a decision should not been taken over the issue before 2019, he said.
“The Congress should be asked if their relation is with ( Lord) Ram or with foreign invader Babur. The Congress has no idea about the country’s respect and ‘ swabhimaan’ ( self- respect). The Congress always played with the national security and is now coming in front of you for votes,” the Uttar Pradesh chief minister said.
He said Chhattisgarh could only develop when the BJP governments at the Centre and state worked together. The elections to the 90- member Chhattisgarh Assembly will be held in two phases on November 12 and 20.
Addressing a poll rally here in Chhattisgarh on the last day of campaigning for the first phase of the state polls, he alleged that the Congress toyed with national security and actively and covertly supported Naxalism in Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand for political gains.
