Himanta Biswa Sarma promises temple in place of 'Shahi Idgah' at Krishnajanmbhoomi after LS polls

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has responded to Congress party, Rahul Gandhi, and Hemant Soren's question regarding Prime Minister Modi's need for 400 seats. 

Addressing a public meeting in Jharkhand's Giridih, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma says, "Congress party, Rahul Gandhi, Hemant Soren ask why PM Modi needs 400 seats. It means they have no objection to us forming the govt but PM Modi is getting 400 seats... Last time we got 300 seats, we did Pran Pratishtha of Ram temple. If we built the Ram temple with 300 seats, won't Krishnajanmbhoomi temple be built when we get 400 seats? Shouldn't we build it? Aurangzeb has made 'Shahi Idgah' at Krishnjanmbhoomi, hasn't the time come when we should build a temple in place of the Idgah? Shouldn't we build a temple in place of the Gyanvapi mosque? With 300 seats, PM Modi has built the Ram temple, with 400 seats, he will build the Krishnjanmbhoomi temple and a temple at the place of Gyanvapi mosque."

He further posed a question, if the Ram temple could be built with 300 seats, wouldn't it be possible to build the Krishnajanmbhoomi temple with 400 seats?

He referred to the 'Shahi Idgah' at Krishnajanmbhoomi, built by Aurangzeb, suggesting that it might be time to replace it with a temple. He also proposed the idea of building a temple at the site of the Gyanvapi mosque. 

He concluded by saying that PM Modi, with 400 seats, would build the Krishnajanmbhoomi temple and a temple at the Gyanvapi mosque site.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday said here that grand temples will also be built in Mathura and Kashi if the BJP wins 400 seats.

“The BJP government had promised the Ram temple (in Ayodhya) and the government kept the promise. The BJP government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fulfilled all the promises,” Sarma further said addressing a public meeting in support of BJP candidate Harsh Malhotra in Laxmi Nagar.

Attacking the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Sarma said, “The Lal Qila (Red Fort) and the Qutub Minar are the main attractions of the capital, but the CM of Delhi invites people to show Mohalla Clinics, which are in bad conditions.” He further said that medical colleges are being built in every district of Assam, and if the BJP is voted to power again, the government will build super-speciality hospitals and medical colleges in the national capital.
