Ajay Yadav, leader of Apna Haq Party, while speaking at a public meeting, urged the Yadav community to work towards what he described as the “liberation” of the Krishna Janmabhoomi in Mathura and the construction of a Krishna temple. He declared it the duty of every Yadav, stating that the first step would be to make a request, and if that failed, the second would be to go to war.
