Recently, the Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Keshav Prasad Maurya made a tweet. In which he wrote, ‘Ayodhya, Kashi is on… Mathura’s turn.’ After this tweet, speculations are being made to give edge to the issue of Hindutva during the BJP’s assembly elections. In such a situation, like Ayodhya, strict security arrangements have been made in Mathura too.
