The Budget Session of Parliament concludes on Saturday, with both Houses set to pass a resolution thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for overseeing the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, which was inaugurated on January 22. A long-held ideological goal of the BJP, the temple is expected to play a major role in the party’s messaging for the coming Lok Sabha elections.
Speaking in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a pointed attack on the Congress. He said the party never considered B R Ambedkar worthy of the Bharat Ratna and kept giving the honour to their “own family members”. He said the Congress, which named parks, streets, and squares after its “family members”, is now giving the BJP advice and lessons on social justice.
A first-time MP from Moradabad of the Samajwadi Party and a practising surgeon, Dr S T Hasan, 65, went further than his party has gone on the Gyanvapi mosque issue in his speech in Parliament on February 5, when he said: “The Supreme Court gave a verdict and the Ram Temple issue was resolved. It was a verdict and not justice, but it was resolved. Now the issue of another mosque has come up… Gyanvapi… then there will be Mathura… then Taj Mahal, Qutub Minar and Delhi’s Jama Masjid. When people make claims on 3,000 mosques, we have to think about what we are giving to our next generations, love or hate.” Hasan speaks to The Indian Express about claims on Muslim religious places, problems in the INDIA coalition for the Lok Sabha polls, and other issues.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday praised his government for the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and also mentioned the disputed Gyanvapi and Shahi Idgah mosques while speaking in the state Assembly. While invoking Lord Krishna from 'Mahabharat,' Yogi Adityanath said Krishna wanted five villages, but Hindu society is asking for only three centres.
As BJP leaders from across India prepare to gather next month to receive the final blueprint for the party’s Lok Sabha election strategy, the party is confident that the nation’s mood is in its favour.
Barely a week after it strategically timed the inauguration of the Jagannath Temple Parikrama project in Puri with the Ram Temple consecration in Ayodhya, the Naveen Patnaik-led Biju Janata Dal (BJD) government is rolling out the second phase of its temple gambit, this time in the BJP’s western Odisha stronghold.
A day after the consecration of the Ram Temple at Ayodhya, the BJP hit the road running in Jammu and Kashmir, where uncertainty continues over holding of elections. The party held the first meeting of its State Election Committee (SEC) in the Union Territory and on Tuesday, held a workshop on its country-wide ‘Gaon Chalo Abhiyan’.
Given the scale of the celebrations around the Ram Temple inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Ayodhya is set to be the ruling BJP’s major plank in the coming Lok Sabha polls. However, on the road from Delhi to Ayodhya in the run-up to the consecration shows that while the Temple will be a deciding factor for a large section of the electorate, for many, it will be one of several issues, with caste still a big determinant.
