BJP 'exploiting' religion for profit: Opposition leader Mata Prasad Pandey
Leader of Opposition in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly Mata Prasad Pandey has claimed that pilgrims visiting the Devi Patan Dham here will soon have to cough up a fee and accused the BJP of "profiteering in the name of religion."
The Devi Patan Dham here is one of the 51 Shakti Peeths.
Pandey, who was in Balrampur on Sunday evening to attend the death anniversary of former minister Shiv Pratap Yadav, said, "Under the guise of religion, the BJP is preparing to snatch people's rights and harass them".
"Soon, visitors to the Devi Patan temple will be required to purchase tickets for darshan. A law for this has already been passed," he claimed.
"Ayodhya is being sold off. Land is being taken away from the poor and handed over to large industrialists. Big hotels are being built there, and extortion is taking place in the name of development. In South India, where the BJP has little presence, it is bringing people from there to temples for political and economic gains," he said.

Rahul Gandhi says, "Who is the owner of the privatisation of the education and health system? The Indian education system is a system of stamps, a system of certification.

Your children cannot get employment in this country, no matter what they do. The billionaires have destroyed the employment system of the country.

He cannot manage the distribution of water in 10 years - even though he promised it from the stage, still people are getting polluted water.He should work instead of making allegations. The people of Delhi have made up their minds and they will teach him a lesson."

On implementation of UCC in Uttarakhand, Samajwadi Party Leader Maulana Mohibullah Nadvi says, "Our Constitution has guaranteed religious freedom to each and every citizen of this country.
"UCC will hamper this religious freedom and as far as the constitution is concerned, everyone knows that it gives us complete freedom to follow our personal laws- not just to Muslims, but to every community. All Muslim organisations have always opposed UCC because we think it will hamper religious freedom and it will hamper our personal laws. UCC should not be implemented and the religious freedom guaranteed to every community must be followed."

AAP's frustration is clearly visible: BJP MP Sambit Patra
On Arvind Kejriwal's statement on the Yamuna River, BJP MP Sambit Patra says, "I cannot even believe that after being the Chief Minister for so many years, Arvind Kejriwal can give such a statement. The CM of one state is saying to the CM of another state that there is a conspiracy to kill the people of Delhi by poisoning the water.
"Arvind Kejriwal is realizing that he is also losing from New Delhi. He knows that Manish Sisodia, Atishi, all of them are losing. AAP is not forming the government and this is the reason why the frustration is clearly visible on Arvind Kejriwal's face and his statements. When India did a surgical strike on Pakistan, Arvind Kejriwal was asking for proof from India and today he is saying that one state of India is doing a poisonous attack on another state, what kind of statement is this? Arvind Kejriwal should apologize to the people of Haryana."
