‘This statement of Akhilesh Yadav is shocking’

He told that the SP chief has said, “All over the world, cities are illuminated with lights on Christmas, we should learn from them. What is the point of spending money on lamps and candles? The government should be removed and we will install more beautiful lights.”

‘It is an insult to Hindu faith’
Amit Malviya said that Diwali is a symbol of our cultural and spiritual values. It is not just a festival of lights, but gives the message of victory of light over darkness. Diyas and candles are a part of our tradition, in which the spirit and devotion of every home is attached. Calling them “waste of money” is not only unfair but also an insult to Hindu faith. He further wrote that instead of comparing festivals, Akhilesh Yadav should respect the diverse traditions of India. This is true secularism.

‘They should be called Antony or Akbar’
Madhya Pradesh Cabinet Minister Vishwas Sarang also targeted Akhilesh Yadav and questioned his remarks on Diwali. Sarang said, ‘How can a person named Akhilesh say such things? I think he should be called Antony or Akbar. I wonder how anyone can oppose Diwali puja and lighting of lamps.

On the controversial statements made by the Trinamool Congress leaders in the Kolkata rape case, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has termed it as ‘Gundagardi on’ in Mamta Raj in West Bengal. Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said during a conversation with the news agency IANS, ‘I think instead of taking action in the Kolkata rape case, the government and the ruling party seem to be applauding these criminals.

BJP leader Naqvi said that if this city which is the pride of the whole country, becomes a crime capital then it is a matter of concern, but even more concern is that hooliganism is going on under Mamta Didi’s rule. Hooligans have political and government protection, which is a matter of even more serious concern.

India chose all religion

On a statement given by RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosbole on the completion of 50 years of Emergency recently, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that it is moving towards creative and positive debate. When India became independent, two countries became, Pakistan and India. Pakistan hoisted the Islamic flag, while India chose the path of Sarvadharma Samabha.

Naqvi said that there was no constitutional obligation in choosing Sarvadharma Sambhav. This was the result of the culture and culture, values ​​and thinking of the majority of our country. When the neighboring country was becoming an Islamic nation, the majority society of India decided to take its country on the path of all religion, so there was no constitutional obligation. At that time the culture and culture of our people was of Sarvadharma Sambhav. There is a need to go to the bottom of the constitution that was cheated during the Emergency.

Tejashwi Yadav also targeted

On the statement of “throwing dustbin” on behalf of Tejashwi Yadav, the BJP leader said, “Those whose family has been uprooted, they have gone out to take the contract to uproot the law. He is not aware of the pegs of his family and he is engaged in a ridiculous effort to uproot the peg of law. Certainly whenever elections come, these people get into a conspiracy and conspiracy to kidnap the votes of a large section of the society through communal polarization.

The BJP leader said that he has felt that this time his jugaad will also be defeated at the ghat of the mandate. Therefore, once again he has tried to do communal gimmick, tried to commit communal polarization and has conspired to kidnap their votes by spreading fear and confusion in a large section of the society, but they will not succeed in it.
