Shivpal spoke about the Ramcharitmanas controversy
Shivpal Yadav also spoke highly of the Shriramcharitmanas controversy. He said we respect all religions. Obey all scriptures. This could be a personal statement from Swami Prasad Maurya. His statement was not an official party statement. However, Shivpal dodged issues related to the two factions formed after Swami Prasad Maurya’s declaration in the party. He only targeted the BJP. Speaking to Rae Bareli reporters, he explained why are we not talking about the issue of showing black flags to Akhilesh.
We follow the ideals of Ram-Krishna
On the issue of Ramcharitmanas and politics from Brahmin to Shudra, Shivpal Yadav clearly said that the statement was from Swami Prasad Maurya. We are those who believe in all scriptures. Following the ideals of Lord Rama. He is a follower of the ideals of Lord Krishna. Shivpal said that we believe in all forms of God. Inverting the question, Shivpal Yadav said that when Akhilesh Yadav went to a religious program, why was he shown black flags? Why were slogans launched?
On the issue of giving equal standing to Swami Prasad Maurya, Shivpal Yadav said he was a leader after all. His opinions can be anything. He said you have many different points of view here. You can ask us any question, but we still consider you.
