The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) is at it again. VHP leader Pravin Togadia has charged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has gone back on its promises. He holds Home Minister Rajnath Singh and party President Amit Shah responsible for the BJP's reversal. Togadia asserted at Bulandshahar (where he was attending a VHP meeting) that to build the Ram Temple and to amend Article 370, no constitutional amendment was necessary - it could be done by passing new laws. So the government's excuse that they needed two thirds majority in both houses of Parliament was incorrect (both Shah and Singh had said the National Democratic Alliance needed to get a majority in both houses to change the Constitution).
