New Delhi: Ahead of the upcoming UP Assembly elections, preparations are in full swing with BJP calling a two-day meeting of MPs from Uttar Pradesh in New Delhi. The meeting will also be attended by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Speaking over the issue, BJP MP from Ayodhya Lallu Singh said that the meeting called in by the BJP in the national capital is a regular meeting and does not have any agenda.
In an exclusive interaction with ETV Bharat, Singh said that it is a tradition that when the Parliament runs, BJP holds a meeting and the UP Chief Minister comes and meets the MPs. On being asked about the anti-incumbency factor against the Uttar Pradesh government, the Ayodhya MP said that that there is no anti-incumbency in the state as the people are happy with the works done by the Yogi government.

"The allegations made by the opposition will not change the opinion of people," he claimed. Reacting to if BJP will seek votes in the upcoming polls over the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the BJP MP said that the issue of the construction of Ram temple has lasted for decades.
"Yes, it is true that the issue has been resolved under the Modi government and the construction of the grand Ram Temple has commenced but it is not a political issue. It is a matter of faith and religion. People might vote BJP over this but seeking votes under the cover of this issue will not be good," Lallu Singh said.

When asked if scores of dead bodies found floating in the river Ganges will influence the elections, he told ETV Bharat that it is a meagre issue as people living in the areas along the Ganges leave bodies in the river.
"The opposition has created a ruckus out of it under the name of Covid deaths. People living in the nearby areas often leave bodies in the river. Even after immense pressure, Bharatiya Janata Party will form the government in Uttar Pradesh in 2022 under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath," he stated.
