Will contest Guj assembly polls: Hindu Mahasabha

Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha has said it will contest the Gujarat Assembly Polls to be held next year.

"We have decided to field our candidates for next year's Assembly election in Gujarat. The BJP government after coming to power at the Centre has betrayed the people on the issues of Ram temple, checking infiltration from Bangladesh, and involved itself in minorities appeasement like Congress," the Hidutva group's chief Chandraprakash Kaushik said.

Kaushik attacked the BJP, saying that it forgot the "Hindutva ideology" and has now turned into a secular party.

"We high hopes from BJP after it came to power. Now it has turned into a secular party and forgotten the Hindutva ideology," he said.
