Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and lok Sabha member Kalyan Singh said that the aspiration of million of Indians would be fulfilled by the construction of Ram Temple at Ayodhya if BJP comes to power.
'' Majority Indians want the early construction of Ram Temple and BJP will fulfill it when it comes to power after the 2014 lok Sabha elections,'' he said in Etah on Sunday.
Singh, who is yet to formally announce his joining the BJP, told reporters that there is no dispute on the name of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as the Prime Ministerial candidate for the BJP. ''Only a formal announcement was required which will be done by the party's Parliamentary Board very soon,'' he said.
Criticising the Congress leaders for opposing the statement of Modi in which he had said that he is a Hindu nationalists Singh said: "Every majority Indian is a Hindu nationalist including me. Did the Congress leaders wanted us to say that we are Muslim nationalists.''
Singh ,however, said that Hindu is not a religion and it is just a way of life.'' Even the Courts have also admitted that Hindu is not a religion,'' he said.
Commenting on the Monsoon session of the Parliament starting from Monday, the Independent MP from Etah said that the Samajwadi Party has already fixed a deal with the Congress to support the government on the Food Security Bill.
'' The agreement is that the Centre will withdraw the Disproportionate Assets (DA) cases against Mulayam Singh Yadav and his family members and SP will support the Food Security Bill,'' he said. Both the SP and the BSP of UP are playing to the tunes of Congress and they are supporting the Centre on its anti- people attitude.
Criticising the Akhilesh Yadav government for suspending young IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal, he said that such act will demoralize the honest and efficient officer. '' The act of the UP government was just to appease the muslims,'' he said.
He also said that action on senior IAS officer Ashok Khemka in Haryana and a similar one in UP against Durga are condemnable and such things weakens the democratic set up of the country.
