Delhi CM Atishi Accuses BJP of Temple Demolition Plans, BJP and LG Deny Allegations

Atishi claims BJP-led religious committee approved demolition of Hindu and Buddhist temples, while BJP and LG's office refute the charges as political tactics.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi has alleged that a religious committee, under the direction of the BJP-led central government and LG VK Saxena, approved plans to demolish several Hindu and Buddhist religious structures in the city.
The LG's office has denied the claims, stating that no such orders for demolition exist and accusing Atishi of engaging in 'cheap politics'.
Atishi presented minutes from a November 22 meeting, naming six religious sites, including temples and a Buddhist site, as slated for demolition, which she says would hurt religious sentiments.
The BJP has dismissed the allegations, accusing the AAP of attempting to disturb communal harmony and using the issue for election-related political gains.
Congress leader Udit Raj and BJP MP Manoj Tiwari have criticized Atishi, with Tiwari questioning AAP's record on temple construction and Raj accusing AAP of trying to win Dalit votes through these claims.
