Soon Akhilesh Yadav too will be seen chanting Lord Ram's name and repenting for his mistakes, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Monday, apparently taking a jibe at him over the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
Adityanath, while addressing a public gathering in Moradabad, said, "Looking at recent statements, does it seem that better sense has prevailed over the the Samajwadi Party chief? Or is he trying to bluff? He (Yadav) is saying that he will make Ayodhya shine."
The double-engine government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has already done it, he said, adding that he would thank Yadav for finally accepting Ayodhya, which is an ideological victory for the BJP.
The chief minister also said, "Sooner or later, you (Yadav) too will be seen chanting the name of Lord Ram and repenting for your mistakes, which were committed on the devotees of Lord Ram -- firing on the devotees of Lord Ram and wielding lathis on those chanting 'Jai Shri Ram'."
Yogi Adityanath was in Moradabad, where he inaugurated and laid the foundation of 63 development projects worth over Rs 365 crore.
