With ruling party legislators already up an arms against the government, now Yogi Adityanath’s very own ‘Hindu Yuva Vahini’ has threatened to sever relations with the BJP if it does not expedite construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya.
“Yedi BJP ne Ram mandir chodh diya to Hindu Yuva Vahini BJP ko support karna chodh degi (If BJP drops Ram temple issue, then the Hindu Yuva Vahini will part ways with the BJP),” Hindu Yuva Vahini chief Sunil Singh said in lucknow on Monday.
The Hindu Yuva Vahini is a youth outfit formed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Gorakhpur. He was the chief of the Vahini but of late, Singh has taken control of the outfit.
“The BJP came to power with the promise to construct Ram temple at Ayodhya. It had also promised to repeal Article 370. But it seems now that the BJP was willfully going slow on the issue. This is a `dhokha’ (betrayal) with the people. When we go to people, they ask us what happened to the promise of construction of Ram temple and we have no answer. In this scenario, the Hindu Yuva Vahini will be left with on other option but to part ways with the BJP,” Singh declared.
The HYV chief also said that the recent bypoll defeats was a wakeup call for the ruling party. “The BJP is losing elections as it is losing the faith of masses. It is losing faith because it is going slow on construction of Ram temple,” he said.
Singh declared that the Hindu Yuva Vahini will support a party which promised construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya.
“This is clear that the BJP will not cross double digits in UP at the 2019 general elections because of its lackadaisical approach towards construction of Ram temple,” he said.
When asked if Hindua Yuva Vahini parted ways with the BJP, what will happen to Yogi Adityanath, Singh laconically answerfed, “He will part ways too.”
