Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh on Sunday that he wanted to tell Rahul Gandhi the date of the inauguration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya as the Congress leader would “taunt” the BJP about it.
“Between 2014 and 2019, when I was the party (BJP) president, Rahul baba used to say in every election that ‘the BJP folks will say mandir wahin banayenge magar tithi nahi batayenge (we will make the temple right there, but won’t tell the date)’. He used to taunt us,” Mr. Shah said, addressing a public rally in Ujjain on the second day of his three-day tour to the State.
“Today, I have come to tell Rahul baba the date. On January 22, 2024, (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi-ji is going to attend the pran pratishtha [of the Ram temple]. On January 22, Ram Lalla will be placed inside a huge temple in the same Ayodhya, at the same place,” the BJP leader said.
