Politics of opposing Indian culture will not work anymore, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma said on Thursday as he hit out at Opposition parties for dividing people on caste and communal lines.
He alleged that the Opposition leaders, who were earlier against the culture of the country, are now wearing ' janeu' (sacred thread) over their clothes, visiting temples and reciting Hanuman Chalisa, as he credited the BJP for bringing about this change in the last five years.
The senior BJP leader held public programmes in Lakhimpur and Shravasti districts, drumming up support for party candidates. Voting will take place in Lakhimpur on February 23 and in Shravasti on February 27.
