Jaunpur,

Nov 07 (HS): Ramesh Chandra Mishra, BJP MLA from the Badlapur assembly

constituency in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh, has urged Samajwadi Party President

Akhilesh Yadav to support the construction of a Lord Krishna temple in Mathura.

Speaking to reporters on Saturday, he said that if Akhilesh Yadav speaks about

Sanatan Dharma and Dharma, he should also speak out for the construction of a

Krishna temple in Mathura.

The

MLA said that Akhilesh Yadav visited Kashi several times, but did not visit Kashi

Vishwanath Dham. He claimed that Akhilesh Yadav may not have even visited Lord

Krishna in Mathura or Ram Lalla in Ayodhya. He said that if Akhilesh Yadav

truly believes in Sanatan Dharma, he should support the construction of the

temple in Mathura.

Ramesh

Mishra alleged that the mosque in Mathura was built illegally and that

encroachment had taken place there. He said that the mosque should be removed

and a temple dedicated to Lord Krishna should be built there. According to the

MLA, the Mathura case is pending in court. Just as the court's decision came in

the Ayodhya case, a decision will come in the Mathura case as well, and a

Krishna temple will be built there. He also appealed to opposition parties for

cooperation on this issue. Reacting to Dhirendra Shastri's statement, the MLA

said that his words were being presented in a distorted manner. He said that

Dhirendra Shastri believes in all gods and goddesses. All gods and goddesses

are recognized in Sanatan Dharma.
