Days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Shri Krishna temple in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Sunday alleged that the Samajwadi Party (SP) does not want the temple in Mathura due to vote bank politics and minority appeasement.
He challenged the SP president Akhilesh Yadav to clarify his stand over the issue, alleging Mr. Yadav is under pressure from Muslim community and leaders like Azam Khan.
