God belongs to everyone, says Akhilesh on his Ayodhya visit

LUCKNOW Dismissing the BJP’s criticism of his plans to visit Ayodhya next month, Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday (November 11, 2026) emphasised that “God belongs to everyone” and slammed his critics for their alleged loot and destruction in Ayodhya. Mr. Yadav is scheduled to visit the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on December 12, with his family. BJP leaders triggered a political war of words by terming his visit politically motivated. “God belongs to everyone.

So why should we not visit these places? We will visit Kedareshwar, Mathura and Vrindavan as well. We have been visiting these places before, and we will continue to do so. Those who looted and destroyed the livelihood of common people should answer,” Mr. Yadav told journalists in Lucknow.

‘BJP’s end is near’ The SP president claimed that Uttar Pradesh voters have determined to bring his party back into power in the State. “The farmers, youth, labourers, and traders of Uttar Pradesh want change. The public has made up its mind to form the government of the Samajwadi Party in 2027.
