It's manifesto time in UP

The BJP revived the Ayodhya issue promising to build a Ram temple but Congress came out with plans to create 20 lakh jobs for unemployed youth in their manifestos for the Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh where both the parties are trailing major players BSP and SP. BJP, which has been struggling hard to regain its preeminent position in the state, brought back the Ayodhya issue which had once propelled the party to the centre stage of national politics in the late 80s and through the nineties. “Construction of a grand temple is associated with the faith of crore of people of the country. Ram is the symbol of prestige, pride and dignity of the country. “Unfortunately due to pseudo-secularism and vote bank politics it is being opposed. BJP is committed to removing all the hurdles in the path of construction of Ram temple,” said the manifesto, released by a battery of leaders including Uma Bharati, the hindutva mascot.
