Nehru's Controversial Temple Snub Resurfaces in Political Rally

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday accused former Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru of disrespecting India's first President, Rajendra Prasad, by suggesting he skip the Somnath temple inauguration.

Addressing an election rally in Bihar, Adityanath claimed that Congress has historically disregarded revered figures like Sardar Patel, Ambedkar, and Prasad. He asserted that BJP prioritizes heritage preservation, contrasting it with Congress and RJD's alleged negligence.

Adityanath, emphasizing BJP's commitment, pointed to their efforts in ensuring the Ram temple is built in Ayodhya, while noting NDA's intent to eliminate mafia dominance in Bihar, similar to actions taken in Uttar Pradesh.
