Claiming that their response to his question would expose their leanings and real politics, Sinha had tagged Rahul Gandhi , Akhilesh Yadav, SitaramYechury, Lalu Prasad Yadav and N Chandrababu Naidu. "I would go to any extent in opposing such move that threatens constitutional provisions," she said. "People cannot be misguided by attempts to overrule constitutional provisions," Phule said, while adding that Ram Mandir issue is pending in Supreme Court and therefore bringing a bill on it would undermine the apex court's authority. LUCKNOW: Two days after BJP's nominated MP Rakesh Sinha announced that he would bring a private member bill for construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya , party's Lok Sabha MP from Bahraich , Savitri Bai Phule, a Dalit, who has often been critical of her party, said that any such move would amount to 'playing with the secular credentials of the Constitution'.In a tweet on Wednesday, Sinha had asked opposition leaders who had been targeting BJP on construction of Ram Temple to make it clear if they would support the private member bill he is introducing. In another tweet on Thursday, Sinha had said that he was writing the preface of his private member bill and wanted to include the stand of opposition leaders in it and was even willing to go down to their residences to collect it, and had tagged Rahul, Lalu, Akhilesh, Naidu and named Mayawati.Speaking to TOI on Friday, Phule said that Sinha's move was part of a larger conspiracy for political gains ahead of Lok Sabha elections next year..
