On the heels of a proposed temple to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh minister Azam Khan on Thursday offered to build a temple dedicated to Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, saying “why can’t a temple be constructed in his name?” “I will put a proposal before ‘netaji’ (Mulayam) for constructing a temple for him. If he gives consent, work will start for the same,” Khan said.
Justifying his demand, Khan said that Mulayam was a popular leader and has a number of followers. “Why can’t a temple be constructed in his name?” he asked.
Azam’s statement came after supporters of Modi in Rajkot in his home state Gujarat have built a temple for him. The temple, with a bust of Modi in the sanctum, stands on Kothariya road and is planned to be inaugurated on February 16.
Prime Minister Modi, however, said that he was appalled by reports of the temple being built in his name and asked people to instead put time and resources in fulfilling the dream of ‘Clean India’.
