After the completion of a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya, a magnificent temple of Lord Parshuram having his 25-foot idol is going to be built in Kanpur Dehat district of Uttar Pradesh.

The temple is being built with an aim to invigorate around two crore Brahmins of the state in favour for the Bharatiya Janata Party as Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party have made 'Brahmin Gaurav' a part of their political campaign against the ruling party ahead of the 2022 assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh.

A temple trust, named Bhagwan Shree Parshuram Nyas, has been formed for the construction of the temple and it is headed by BJP MLA Pratibha Shukla while her husband and former MP Anil Shukla Warsi is its patron.

Pratibha Shukla said that Brahmins were always with the BJP and would support the saffron party in the coming assembly polls too.

“The proposed Parshuram temple will unite the Brahmins and make them politically strong. The time has come for the followers of Parshuram to snatch their rights from those who have usurped their political area. For this, they will have to follow the policy of Chanakya by adopting Parshurama's tenacity, patience and might,” she said

Former MP and BJP leader Anil Shukla Warsi said that the BJP was not involved in the construction of the temple and the installation of Lord Parshuram’s idol and for this the trust would not take any help from the government.

“Help can be taken from party MPs and MLAs but not from political parties. We solicit support from Brahmins to come forward with donations to make this project a success,” he said.

“The temple of Lord Parshuram is going to be built at a cost of Rs 10 crore in Kanpur Dehat. In this temple, a 25-foot high idol of Lord Parshuram will be installed and it is likely to cost Rs 50 lakh. Not only this, work will also be done to build Parshuram Vatika and research centre in the temple premises,” the former MP said.
