LUCKNOW: BJP chief Amit Shah brought the clamour for Ram temple into sharper focus, promising to push for a quicker Constitutional resolution to the dispute and emphasising that the saffron issue could go “hand in hand” with development.
Speaking to the media at the release of the party manifesto for the UP election here on Saturday, Shah underlined that if elected, BJP would issue a white paper on the reported Hindu exodus from restive Kairana. He also unveiled populist promises such as farm loan waivers and laptops with free data. Free education for girls up to graduation and for boys up to Class XII have also been promised.
Shah also said a BJP government in the state would be willing to implead itself in the ongoing litigation on triple talaq in the Supreme Court after ascertaining the opinion of Muslim women — a pledge intended to agitate UP’s political fault-lines.
