Try and convert me if you can: Akhilesh to BJP

December 13, 2014 01:04

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Friday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party was 'misguiding' people in the name of religious conversions and challenged the saffron party to 'try and convert' him.

"People gave the BJP most seats in the recent Lok Sabha polls. But the party is fooling the same people on the name of religious conversion," the chief minister said.

Yadav threw a challenge before the BJP, saying it should 'try to convert him to another religion'.

Referring to the plans of a 'mass conversion ceremony' in Aligarh, announced by a Hindu outfit, Yadav said that it was the responsibility of the district administration to maintain law and order and arrest the trouble makers.
