“What we are gaining from the Taj Mahal? Eventually, it is under your control. You should rename it as Tejo Mahayalya. What difference will it make for us? It is you who is taking income generated from the premises.” he added.
“We know you will never dig Taj Mahal and Red Fort because you are getting huge money from them. You deliberately try to pamper with mosques to hurt sentiments of Muslim community ” he added.
