BJP will definitely win in Mathura: Hema Malini

Showing confidence over her party's victory in Mathura, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Hema Malini on Monday said that the people of Uttar Pradesh are very happy with the party's performance.

"In Mathura, we will definitely win. There are a lot of chances for our victory in Mathura. I am very sure that the people are very happy from what is happening from our side," the actress-turned-politician told ANI.

When asked whether her party will raise the issue of Ram Mandir, she said, "Why only the issue of Ram Mandir? There are so many developmental works that have been done by the Prime Minister."

"Our Prime Minister has done so much for the farmers. Instead of critising everything, one should appreciate the good thing the PM has done. He has done so much development in the country. He has brought a big name to the country," she added.

With the political scenario heating up in the Uttar Pradesh ahead of Assembly elections, Union minister Giriraj Singh today posed rhetoric that if the Ram temple will not be constructed in India or in Ayodhya then will it be constructed in Pakistan.

"We do not know the exact time when the Ram Temple will be built in India. But if not in Ayodhya, if not in India, will it be built in Pakistan?" Singh told media.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Vinay Katiyar also echoed the similar view saying that they will raise the issue of Ram Temple vigorously and would take decision under the purview of law.

The BJP has raised the issue of Ram Temple construction time and again.

Earlier BJP president Amit Shah vowed to work towards the construction of Ram Temple "under the provisions of the Constitution."

Uttar Pradesh will go to polls for the first phase on February 11. It will be a seven-phase Assembly elections for the state in which the last phase will be held on March 8. The counting of votes and the results will be declared on March 11.
