News Desk: Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma said that BJP will contest the assembly election of 2022 under the leadership of Yogi Adityanath. He also said that the saffron party will win as the oppositions are fighting against themselves.
He said “This is a settled issue as the central leadership has already made it clear that the party will contest the election under Yogi Adityanath ji to return to power”
When asked about the possible loss of Brahmin votes, he said “This is a false narrative. BJP government has worked for every section of society, without seeing anybody through the lens of caste and creed”
“Efforts to organise Brahmin meets by the opposition are basically meant to say sorry to them for neglecting them during their regime” he added.
On the induction of Brahmin leader Jitin Prasada in the party, said to have been triggered by the worry over losing the community’s support, he said “He wanted to join the BJP way back, inspired by the work of Prime Minister Narendra Modi”
When asked about competition from Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samajwadi Party, Sharma said “See, the BJP is winning hands down”
“In fact, these opposition parties are fighting against themselves to elbow out one another” he added.
Sharma also talked about the role of Ayodhya in the assembly election. He said “For the BJP, construction of the Ram Temple was never a poll issue, but a matter of faith. It was the BJP alone which extended support to the Ram temple movement and worked to remove the obstacles. Kalyan Singh ji even resigned”
“Ram devotees were fired upon during the regime of those who are organising meetings of intellectuals today. So whom will the public support? Those who fired on them or those who stood by them as they chanted the name of Ram?” he added.
