Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati on Tuesday criticised Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Swami Prasad Maurya for their respective statements on Gyanvapi and Badrinath temple, calling it a “well-planned political conspiracy” by these two parties.
“After the SP leader said that the Badrinath temple was constructed after demolishing Buddhist monastery, now the BJP is raising the controversy over the Gyanvapi, which is sub judice. Is it not a well-planned conspiracy by these two political parties? This is a serious and very worrying,” Ms. Mayawati said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
The four-time Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister added as the matter is sub judice, it is not only unnecessary statement but also unfair to comment on the dispute. “In the Gyanvapi case, the matter is pending in the High Court whether the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) should conduct the survey or not, it is unnecessary and unfair to make comments on the issue,” she said.
