PTI file photo Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Sunday issued a warning that any construction done in the name of the Mughal emperor Babar will face strong opposition.Maurya’s reaction came following suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir laying the foundation stone for a mosque – modelled on Ayodhya’s Babri Masjid – at Rejinagar in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district on Saturday, escalating political temperatures in the state where the assembly elections are due next year.Murshidabad Tense as Humayun Kabir Faces Heat Over ‘Babri Masjid’ Foundation and Heavy Deployment”There is no issue with the construction of a mosque, but if someone builds it in the name of Babar, then we will not only oppose it, but we will also ensure it is swiftly dismantled,” he told reporters here.Maurya also sharply criticised the Samajwadi Party (SP), asserting that its president, Akhilesh Yadav, has lost his composure after experiencing a humiliating defeat in the Bihar elections.He indirectly referenced Akhilesh by saying, “The SP chief’s mental state has deteriorated following the party’s crushing defeat in Bihar, and he is now indulging in unrealistic dreams.” The deputy chief minister emphasised that while the SP managed to secure a few seats in 2024, in the upcoming Assembly elections in 2027, the party “will not even be in a position to sit in the Opposition.” “The future of the Samajwadi Party already appears bleak,” Maurya said.Taking a swipe at the party’s symbol, the deputy chief minister remarked that after the Bihar election results, “red caps and ‘jalidari caps’ (netted caps) have disappeared from Uttar Pradesh,” adding that the SP is “on the verge of sunset.” During his visit to Jhansi, Maurya participated in a review meeting regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and later travelled to Datia to visit the Pitambara Peeth temple.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos“Crew Safety Was At Risk…” Expert on DGCA’s Show-Cause Notice to IndiGo CEO“We’ll Strike Again If Needed”: Navy Chief Issues Stern Warning To Pakistan”Congress Destroyed Patel, Bose Legacies” BJP Lambasts Sonia Gandhi Over ‘Defaming Nehru’ Remark”World Saw What Happened To Terrorists…” Rajnath says Strong Borders Powered Op Sindoor successIndiGo Fiasco: Civil Aviation Minister Slams Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Monopoly Model’ RemarkWATCH: Newly Built NH 66 Stretch Collapses In Kerala’s Kollam; School Bus, Other Vehicles Trapped‘Nothing Wrong In It’: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor On PM Modi Gifting Bhagavad Gita To Putin’I Regret That…’: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor On No Invite To Rahul, Kharge For Putin DinnerGoa: 23 Killed In Arpora Nightclub Fire; Cylinder Blast Suspected, CM Sawant Vows Strict Action’Maligning Hindu Way Of Life’: PM Modi Calls Out Colonial Mindset Over ‘Hindu Rate Of Growth’ Label123PhotostoriesYour soul purpose as per your birth month; goosebumps guaranteed!10 best natural sources of vitamin C to boost immunity and health10 questions that surprisingly deepen emotional intimacyBigg Boss 19: From being praised for his calm gameplay to Salman Khan calling him ‘Superstar of TV’; finalist Gaurav Khanna’s journey in the show’Bigg Boss 19′: Friendships that stood strong this seasonBigg Boss 19 Highlights: Salman Khan to announce winner from Top 5 finalists Gaurav Khanna, Farrhana Bhatt, Tanya Mittal, Amaal Mallik and Pranit MoreColorectal surgeon shares 5 things she avoids to lower colon cancer riskBigg Boss 19: From opening up about his strained relationship with uncle Anu Malik, his aggressive fights to nepotism debate: A look at finalist Amaal Mallik’s journeyRaw amla vs amla juice: Which is healthier‘Bigg Boss’: Top wild card contestants over the years123Hot PicksIndigo Flight DelayPutin India VisitWorld NewsGold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingGautam GambhirThe God Slayer Release DateRohit SharmaMurali VijayAryna Sabalenka Net WorthTim PoolAaron RodgersVirat KohliJoe BurrowBengaluru News
