LJP says ‘temple and talaq’ are dangerous issues for NDA in polls

Patna | After Nitish Kumar-led JD-U, another BJP ally LJP on Saturday warned that Ram temple and triple talaq issues are dangerous for the the ruling NDA at the Centre.

Lok Janshakti Party MP Chirag Paswan, son of party chief Ram Vilas Paswan, said the NDA should not make both issues as election planks. “Both issues will harm NDA in the Lok Sabha polls,” said Chirag.

Chirag, who is LJP’s parliamentary board chairman, told media in Sheikhpura district in Bihar that development should be the NDA’s main election issue, not ‘temple or talaq’.

Earlier senior JD-U leader K.C. Tayagi said Ram temple and triple talaq were not the agenda of his party.
