In the first phase, eight western UP constituencies will vote on April 11.

Yogi said in Lucknow that while the alliance [of SP-BSP-RLD] had its own thinking and vision that was prompting them to start the campaign from Saharanpur’s Deoband, he had his own rationale in beginning from Shakumbhari Devi temple.

Yogi added that Ram Mandir was never on the election agenda for us and that the “common public’s feelings should be respected in Ayodhya.”

On the visit of AICC General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to the state, he said, Priyanka should thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi because of whom the water way was started.

Reacting to the statement by Yogi over the alliance starting campaign from Deoband, SP leader Uday Veer Singh said, “We are starting election campaign from constituency number 1 of the state. Yogi ji is focusing on the fact that we are kicking off our campaign from Deoband, but does not notice that we are starting it during the Hindu festival of Navratri.”
