Have some shame @Tejasvi_Surya. If you & the BJP Govt cannot help, at least don't spread the communal poison to hide your failures. Chronology.- 212 people work in the war room.- Tejasvi & his gang readout 17 Muslim names.- Points out if this is a list from Madrasa. 1/4.#Bedscam.

Dear Tejasvi, what role did the Modi Govt play in Babri verdict? I thought it was the Supreme Court ruling unless you are suggesting that Modi influenced the CJI in exchange for an RS seat? . Your brand of politics will never do good for anybody except spreading hate & unrest.
Dear Hindus,. Most important lesson is that control of State power by Hindus is absolutely essential for sustenance of Dharma. When we didn’t control State, we lost our temple. When we regained, we rebuilt. The 282 in 2014 & 303 in 2019 to Sri @narendramodi made today possible!.
