Adityanath charts his own course

Hindustan Times  

IS THE Bhartiya Janata Party and its Lok Sabha MP from Gorakhpur Yogi Adityanath working at cross-purposes. Adityanath’s venture may simply take the sheen off the BJP meet, which is likely to launch its Vidhan Sabha election campaign by raking up the emotive Hindutva issue, including construction of Ram Temple at Ayodhya. Participants at Adityanath’s show will mull over issues like ban on cow slaughter, amendment in Article 370, check on conversion and issues connected with the Hindus in the neighbouring countries. Talking to Hindustan Times, Adityanath said a demand at the Mahasammelan for declaration of Nepal as a Hindu country, restoration of monarchy, ban on conversion and cow slaughter in Nepal. Terming declaration of Nepal as a secular country a conspiracy hatched by the maoists on the direction of Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence, Adityanath said the Hindus were being marginalised in that country.
