Sangareddy MLA T Jayaprakash Reddy said the construction of Ram Mandir was important for the people, but it was equally important for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to fulfil its poll promise of depositing ₹ 15 lakh in every account.
The majority of the ₹ 15 lakh beneficiaries would be from the socially disadvantaged sections like the SCs, STs and BCs apart from the poor from the upper castes, he said. “But the BJP’s silence on this is deafening while it makes a lot of noise on the Ram Mandir issue,” he said.
