Panipat: Congress president Mallikarjuna Kharge has strongly condemned Amit Shah’s speech that the Ram temple in Ayodhya will be ready by January 1, 2024. And he questioned what kind of Ram temple priest you are to say that.
While inaugurating the Jana Viswas Ratha Yatra in Tripura last Thursday, Home Minister Amit Shah said, “The Congress party blocked the attempt to build a Ram temple in Ayodhya through court cases. But after the Supreme Court verdict, Prime Minister Narendra Modi started the construction of the temple there. January 1, 2024- On the date, the grand Ram Temple at Ayodhya will be ready.” said.
The tenure of the Legislative Assembly of Tripura, which is currently ruled by the BJP, ends in March. After that, elections are going to be held there soon. Similarly, this speech of Amit Shah has caused controversy when the parliamentary elections are going to be held in 2024.
The Congress party has questioned why such an announcement should be made now when elections are going to be held in various states of the country.
Congress President Mallikarjuna Kharge on Friday addressed a meeting of the India Unity Yatra held in Haryana’s Panipat.
Karke then said: Everyone has faith in God. But with the assembly elections in Tripura and the parliamentary elections in May next year, you announce that the Ram temple will be opened soon.
What Ram temple priest are you to make such a declaration? Or Mahanta? Let the temple priests and mahants tell when the Ram temple will be opened. You are a politician. Your job is to maintain security in the country, to maintain law and order, to ensure that the people get food, and to take steps to ensure that farmers get the right price for their produce.
The BJP made various promises before the elections, but forgot them after coming to power. Inflation and unemployment are increasing in the country. Due to the rise in inflation, the common man could not afford even the essentials.
Unemployment has risen to a 45-year high. Educated youths with degrees in engineering, medicine and management are suffering from unemployment. But the government Modiji and Amit Shah are not concerned about these.
They don’t care about unemployment, economic situation, inflation. Their thoughts are only on elections.
The Congress party led by Rahul Gandhi came to power in various states. But the BJP resorted to various tactics to topple those governments elected by the people. They claim to believe in democracy and overthrow popularly elected governments.
They use the name of God and spread lies. This government is a government of lies. They said that this government will create two crore jobs. Have you got a job?, in each bank account Rs. They said they would put 15 lakhs, did you get that money? They said they will double the income of the farmers. They said they will fix the minimum reference price for agricultural products, but nothing happened.
BJP made promises and then forgot them. All those promises are just gimmicks to get promises. They have Rama in their words and knives in their hands. They engage in divisive, partisan politics.
But Congress strives to protect the interests of all sections of the people of the country. Rahul Gandhi has undertaken the Indian Unity Yatra to protect the unity of the country and spread love. This yatra was not conducted with a focus on vote bank. It is conducted to protect the interests of all marginalized people including farmers, laborers, women, scheduled castes. Karke spoke thus.
