Synopsis
The move comes in the run-up to next year’s assembly election, which is expected to see the SP-led alliance as the main opposition to the ruling BJP.
Keshav Prasad Maurya said the government will make such “kar sevak margs (roads)”, which will have names and pictures of Ram bhakts slain on October 30, 1990 and November 2, 1990.
Uttar Pradesh will pay a tribute to the kar sewaks or religious volunteers who were shot at in 1990 by the police in Ayodhya, during the Mulayam Singh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party regime, by naming roads leading to their houses after them, said deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya.
