Uttar Pradesh Congress state president
“Just as destruction was carried out in the name of development in Banaras and the court of Baba Vishwanath was ruined, they are preparing to do the same with Banke Bihari Ji. This holy place will be destroyed, and like Banaras, all the big contracts and work here will be given to people from Gujarat.”

“Atrocities and injustice prevail throughout the state. When Shankaracharya is being insulted, and children studying the Vedas are being beaten, it can be understood how insecure the Brahmin community is. There is chaos in the state.”
