Ayodhya: Thanks to untiring efforts of Samajwadi Chief Mulayam Singh, a hard core Hindutva mascot Kalyan Singh today converted to Secularism. With the zeal of new convert he announced many pro-minority policies.

Kalyan was the chief minister when the Babri masjid was demolished on December 6, 1992. President’s Rule was imposed in Uttar Pradesh soon after the demolition. Then, defiant Kalyan Singh roared, “I had a choice between sacrificing chief ministerial chair or protecting the Babri Masjid and I had chosen the former”. But thanks to his son Rajveer Singh’s political career - Kalyan now converted to Secularism.

Though Kalyan is now finding peace with “Secular” Samajwadi Party not everyone is happy. Muslims, the core constituents of Samajwadi Party are seething with anger over betrayal by their “Maulana” Mulayam. So to cool off minority sentiments Mulayam requested Kalyan to clarify his role in demolition. Keeping his son’s political career in mind Kalyan uttered a half hearted apology. But he gave so many empty promises on pro-minority policies to please “Maulana” Mulayam.

Top on the agenda is the scheme to rebuild Babri Masjid. Kalyan proclaimed, “Fourteen years ago I was at the helm in UP, when BJP terrorized the nation in the name of Ram Janma Bhoomi karseva. If Karseva’s can demolish a structure why can’t they built a structure? All we three Singh’s - Kalyan, Mulayam and Amar are soon going to announce a Karseva to rebuild Babri Masjid.”

Though political pundits push aside these reports poll gimmicks, they were amazed by the poaching techniques of Amar Singh. One pundit said, “If Amar can bring Kalyan to Samajwadi and make him secular, then the day is not too far when Narendra Modi too joins Samajwadi Party.”
