    Digvijay Singh slams Advani for raising Ram temple issue during UP campaign

    Gorakhpur/Badaun, Feb 6 (ANI): Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh has criticised Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Lal Krishna Advani for raising the contentious Ram temple- Babri mosque row before the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections

    Addressing a public meeting here, Singh said: "First we want to know what happened to the funds that were generated in the name of building the temple? You always raise the issue of mosques and temples in order to create communal tension. You have brought insult to your community by spreading fear."

    "The BJP used to raise the slogan- we don't say that all Muslims are militants but why is that all militants are found to be Muslims? But now things are clear. Mr. Advani I want to know that all Hindus are not militants but why is it that all people involved with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) are caught in militancy related incidents," Singh added.

    Referring to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati, Digvijay Singh said: "You (Mayawati) are no longer a daughter of the Dalits, you have become the daughter of Daulat (wealth).

    " What have you done for the poor here? In Lucknow you got stone elephants constructed worth 10 million dollars each. Will those statues be able to feed the stomach of people? Had you made one elephant less then you would have been able to convert the thatches into permanent homes for millions of Dalits. Then we would have thought something of you," Singh added.

    The polls in Uttar Pradesh are being viewed as an opportunity for major parties to re-establish their foothold in the country's fifth largest and most populous state.

    Polls in Uttar Pradesh will be conducted between February 8 and March 3. Counting will take place on March 6.

    A new 403-member state assembly will be elected in March. The poll results will broadly indicate trends for the 2014 general elections. (ANI)

      It is a real good match. DickVijay Singh is fit for a mental hospital and Advani is fit for an old age home! If he does not retire, then he can be sent to the same mental hospital as Singhs.

      Digvijay will instead prefer to raise demolision of Babri Mosque.

      Mr Dogi Singh, sensible Hindus do not accept the theory of BJP's Ram Mandir. But they rather hate your policy of Muslim appeasement also. You term RSS as an extremist organisation which is not correct. This is just to appease the hardliners in Muslim community . Same way all Muslims are also not extremists but the no of such people in India is on rise and if not checked then it may become alarming. Your appeasement policy creates gulf between these two communities. You prefer to go extra mile like terming Patiala House encounter as fake, calling Osama as Osamaji, meeting families of killed extremists and not Police Officer Pawan Sharma who also was killed in encounter. This shows clearly that you are unreasonably trying to appease the Muslims at the cost of Hindus which is creating division and then convert in to hatred. You are a bloody fool so I will explain you by way of an example : You snatched a chocolate from a boy and gave it to another, the boy from whom you snatched the chocolate will not only hate you but seeds of hatred towards the boy to whom you have given the chocolate will be sown.You and your Congress party has been doing the same only. You people want to divide and rule. Mayawati divide the people on caste lines. BY doing so you are not doing any service to the nation but taking it to chaos. Better talk about development rather than barking like this. I do not know how much you know. But your public image is such that if law does not prevent then people will tear off your clothes and beat you by their shoes and chappals. Chamchagiri is okay till it does not become ridiculous and does not hurt self respect. But you seem to have far beyond all the limits. Still enough time is there to revive your self respect and public image. So talk sensibly.

      It is high time this party BJP have been deceiving Hindus and grabbing the votes, sometimes in the name of Hinduttva and sometimes quoting Ram Mandir issue. But now their real face has been unmasked, all are No.1 criminals, looters, gang-rapist, prono-addict and what not, God only knows. The issue of temple has propped up all of sudden only during elections - you cannot play with the sentiments of crores of hindus and take them for a ride, enough is enough, now you all should be kicked on your as#.
