During his interaction, he lashes out at Akhilesh Yadav and said, "Akhilesh babu used to say in every election that BJP raises the slogan of 'Mandir wahin banaenge.' He used to say 'mandir wahin banaenge, tithi nahi bataenge.' Akhilesh babu, now Modi Ji has laid the foundation of grand Ram temple&started its construction."
He further questioned, "...Where are Azam Khan, Atique Ahmed, Mukhtar Ansari? In jail. If you commit the mistake of bringing SP Govt to power then they will come out. Should they come out? Should SP govt be formed?..."
