<b>VHP to back pro-Hindu candidates in UP </b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->New Delhi: Apparently leaving the BJP in cold, the VHP on Sunday decided to support candidates who pledge to work for the interests of Hindus in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections and not any particular political party.

Irrespective of the party colours of candidates, VHP, as part of this policy, will give them a list of their demands which include among others a ban on cow slaughter and construction of a Ram Temple at Ayodhya.

"We have not decided to support any political party. We will only back those candidates who are ready to work for the interests of Hindus," VHP leader Ashok Singhal told PTI.
