Vishwa Thacker – Mumbai Uncensored, 5th february 2022 :
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is all set to visit Mathura and took to his Twitter
handle to express how Brij Teerth Vikas Parishad is making efforts to restore the glory of
Mathura-Vrindavan.
He said that it is his and BJP’s aim to restore the glorious pride and history of India along with
the Sanatan faith. He wrote, “Temple of Prabhu Shri Ram is being constructed in Ayodhya and
Bhagwan Vishwnath’s dhaam in Kashi. Then how can Mathura and Vrindavan be left behind?”.
Mathura is known as Krishna Janambhoomi as Lord Krishna took birth there. It has always held
religious significance. Right next to it is the mosque of Shahi Eidgah of the Mughal era.
Mathura has always been crucial and at the centre of Uttar Pradesh polls.
Minister Shrikant Sharma, the sitting MLA and the BJP’s candidate won in 2017 with over 1.4
lakh votes.
Talking to the media, Mr Sharma said, “Development is always first. We are committed to
development wholeheartedly. But we also have ideological devotion. The government is of
those of the ‘Sanatan Dharma’. So the ‘Sanatan Dharma’ temple is being renovated. All other
parties turned away from the temple. We did not”.
Mathura has 5 assembly seats — Mathura city, Govardhan, Chhata, Mant and Baldeo. BJP won
4 of these seats in 2017 and lost Mant.
