Union Home Minister Amit Shah hit out at the Opposition for keeping the Ram temple issue "hanging" on April 28, and said the public has to choose between "those who opened fire at karsevaks and those who built the Ram temple." Mr. Shah made these remarks while seeking support for Rajveer Singh, the BJP candidate from Etah-Kasganj in Uttar Pradesh.
Attacking Opposition party leaders for not attending the Ram temple consecration ceremony, Mr. Shah said, "The people who did not go to the consecration ceremony, they know that they are the people who shot at karsevaks." He asserted that there are two groups to choose from — "one that fired shots at Ram bhakts and one that built the Ram temple".
"The Congress, Rahul 'baba' and the party of Akhilesh Yadav (Samajwadi Party) kept the Ram temple issue hanging for more than 70 years. You made Modi ji the prime minister for a second time and he did 'Jai Shri Ram' by doing the consecration ceremony on January 22," he said.
