Union Home Minister Amit Shah on April 3 in Muzaffarnagar targeted the Congress and the Samajwadi Party (SP) over the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Mr. Shah said that the Narendra Modi-led Union government had honoured public sentiment with the construction of the temple.
“They did nothing for the temple during their regime. It was the Narendra Modi government that honoured people’s sentiments and built the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. This 2024 election is to give Narendra Modi-ji opportunity to be the Prime Minister for a third consecutive term,” Mr. Shah said, addressing his first election rally for 2024 in Uttar Pradesh.
Present with him at the National Inter College in Shahpur, Muzaffarnagar, in support of the party’s candidate, Sanjeev Balyan, was Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) president Jayant Chaudhary.
