NEW DELHI — Social media users reacted sharply to the latest comment of Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya that preparations were underway for the construction of a temple in Mathura.
The comment came through a tweet in Hindi which translates to “The construction of grand temples is on in Ayodhya and Kashi, and preparations are on for one in Mathura,” he tweeted.
अयोध्या काशी भव्य मंदिर निर्माण जारी है
मथुरा की तैयारी है #जय_श्रीराम #जय_शिव_शम्भू #जय_श्री_राधे_कृष्ण— Keshav Prasad Maurya (@kpmaurya1) December 1, 2021
The controversial statement has come at a time when campaigns for UP Assembly elections are picking up with experts warning of a spike in communal rhetoric. Maurya’s tweet evoked reactions from BSP supremo Mayawati and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav.
The statements of the deputy CM, Mayawati said in a tweet, “reinforces the general perception of BJP’s defeat. People should beware of this (Akhiri hatkande) last tactic that is Hindu-Muslim politics.”
यूपी के डिप्टी सीएम केशव प्रसाद मौर्य द्वारा विधानसभा आमचुनाव के नजदीक दिया गया बयान कि अयोध्या व काशी में मन्दिर निर्माण जारी है अब मथुरा की तैयारी है, यह भाजपा के हार की आम धारणा को पुख्ता करता है। इनके इस आखिरी हथकण्डे से अर्थात् हिन्दू-मुस्लिम राजनीति से भी जनता सावधान रहे।
