Antarrashtria Hindu Parishad president Pravin Togadia on Sunday said he would launch an abki baar, Hinduyon ki sarkaar (government for Hindus this time) campaign from Ayodhya on Tuesday.
"Our demand [from the BJP government in the Centre] is to fulfil promises. Build a Lord Ram temple in Ayodhya after bringing an ordinance or enacting a law in Parliament. Make education cheaper, reduce the petrol price and make farmers karj-mukt [debt free]," Togadia told reporters in Lucknow, enlisting his demands.
"We want a Ram mandir and also 'Ram Rajya-like' prosperity in our homes," Togadia added.
Togadia said he would also spell out the details of his abki baar, Hinduyon ki sarkaar campaign in Ayodhya on October 23.
"In Ayodhya, there will be two programmes. These programmes will be focussed on Ram mandir nahin, to Hinduyon kaa vote nahin [no Hindu votes without a Ram temple]. On October 23, the plans pertaining to Hindus' government this time will also be worked out," Togadia said.
Asked why he has adopted an aggressive posture now on building a Lord Ram temple in Ayodhya, Togadia said, "Earlier, we were hopeful that they [the Narendra Modi government] will fulfil their promises. We constantly reminded them for four years. But they remembered neither Ram, nor farmers, nor youths during the last four years."
Togadia also recalled that in June, the AHP had given a call for a Ayodhya kooch (march to Ayodhya).
"We had hoped something will happen in ensuing four months, but nothing happened," Togadia said.
