NDTV
Sangeet Som described Akhilesh Yadav as a "seasonal Hindu" and claimed that everyone in India is Hindu.
In a controversial statement, BJP MLA Sangeet Som has claimed his party will "build temples at all those places in India where temples have been razed to build mosques".
Mr Som, who is the MLA from western UP's Sardhana seat and is known to make contentious statements, made the remarks while attacking Samajwadi Party chief and UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav at a press conference in Sardhana to mark the completion of 4.5 years of the Adityanath govt in UP
Describing Mr Yadav as a "seasonal Hindu", Mr Som dared the SP Chief to have the guts to say "that a mosque was built in Mathura after demolishing a temple " .
The mosque at Mathura and Varanasi's Gyanvapi mosque were identified by the Sangh Parivar identified in the years leading up to the Babri Masjid demolition as other flashpoints.
