As debate over excavation at historical sites heats up in Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav takes a jibe at CM Yogi Adityanath saying that there is ‘Shivling’ beneath official residence. He also noted that ‘Digging everywhere will not get us to any solution’.

Addressing reporters in Lucknow, Yadav said, “There is a Shivling under the Chief Minister’s residence in Lucknow. It should also be excavated.”

“They will end up digging their own government,” Akhilesh Yadav says
“Digging everywhere will not get us to any solution. There is a Places of Worship Act in our country, which prohibits such things,” he said last week while reacting to the excavation.

He also said, “They will keep searching like this and one day, by digging and digging, they will end up digging their own government.”

Last Sunday, an excavation team from the Archaeological Survey of India unearthed a stepwell in the Chandausi area of Sambhal district.
