Saurabh Bharadwaj takes oath in Lord Hanuman’s name
Greater Kailash MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj took oath in name of “Bajrang Bali Hanuman” and raised slogans of “Jai Hanuman” after the oath.
Later, Bharadwaj tweeted, “BJP legislators have objection that oath of office is taken in the name of Hanuman. Is BJP MLA Anil Bajpai anti-Hindu? Why does BJP object to taking Lord Hanuman’s name? Does the top leadership also think the same? Why are…
भाजपा विधायकों को ऐतराज़ है कि विधानसभा में ईश्वर स्वरूप बजरंग बलि हनुमान जी की शपथ ली गई। क्या भाजपा विधायक अनिल बाजपेई हिन्दू विरोधी हैं ?
भाजपा को हनुमान जी के नाम से इतना ऐतराज़ क्यों है ? क्या शीर्ष नेतृत्व भी यही सोच रखता है ? वो चुप क्यों हैं ? pic.twitter.com/nMmUmoLUwM— Saurabh Bharadwaj (@Saurabh_MLAgk) February 24, 2020
