Political tensions over temples and mosques have flared up in UP; Akhilesh stated that a true Hindu can never insult others, while Rajbhar remarked that Akhilesh belongs to neither Ram nor Krishna.

Political temperatures have risen once again following the demolition of an illegal mosque at the Saharanpur Collectorate. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav has lashed out at the Yogi government. Akhilesh Yadav asserts that those who do not respect other religions or who trifle with the faith of others can never be true followers of the Sanatan tradition; a true Hindu, he says, can never insult others. Meanwhile, Om Prakash Rajbhar has stepped up to defend the Yogi government, questioning why Akhilesh Yadav did not visit the birthplace in Mathura on the occasion of Krishna Janmashtami.
