Explaining further, he said, "The BJP has a problem with us going to 'their' religious places and seeking blessings from seers.

He also questioned party chief Akhilesh Yadav's silence on the controversy. Calling them narrow-minded, he said it reflected in their behaviour. "The BJP has a large heart-this is evident from the fact that we gave Padma Vibhushan to Mulayam Singh Yadav even though he had ordered firing on kar sevaks in Ayodhya. Our leaders have a big heart and forgiving nature," he told reporters in Etawah.
