Gujarat Congress leader Bharatsinh Solanki’s remark about Ram temple funds allegedly siphoned off by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) triggered a slugfest as leaders of both parties attacked each other.
In his remark while addressing the party workers, Mr. Solanki said that the ruling BJP leaders had “deceived” Lord Ram by siphoning off funds meant for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
The former Gujarat Congress president, while addressing a gathering of OBCs in Dholka town in Ahmedabad district, claimed ‘Ram Shilas’ (bricks with Shri Ram inscribed on them), were lying uncared for on the outskirts of villages as funds meant to build the temple were siphoned off. “They [BJP] have not spared even Lord Rama,” Mr. Solanki said.
