Year of the Mathura experiment
The Hindu
The BJP appears to be pitching Krishna Janmabhoomi as the next poll plank.
As the Bharatiya Janta Party is on the verge of successfully closing the Ayodhya and Kashi chapters of its Hindutva syllabus, it opened the Mathura folder in 2021. With Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visiting the pilgrimage centre 18 times, showering it with around 200 projects, some observers speculate that Mr Adityanath might contest the upcoming Assembly election from the abode of Krishna.
This week, at a rally in Amroha, he said, “magnificent temples were being built in Ayodhya and Kashi, how could Mathura - Vrindavan be left behind.”
