Be ready to resign if Centre fails to proclaim Ram Mandir ordinance: Pejawar seer tells BJP MPs

Mangaluru, Nov 25: Vishwesha Teertha Swami of Pejavar Mutt, who is one of the mastermind behind the decades old Ayodhya movement today urged all the BJP MPs to be ready to tender their resignation if the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led union government fails to bring out an ordinance for the construction of Ram Mandir. 

Speaking at the Janagraha convention organised by the Sangh Parivar at Nehru Maidan in the city on Sunday to drum up public support for construction of temple for Ram in the land of Babri mosque, the seer said: "The issue should be discussed during the Winter Session of the Parliament beginning December 11." 

He demanded the BJP to take up the issue on priority and warned that the saffron party would not win the elections in 2019 otherwise.

The meeting was organised in accordance with wishes of religious leaders in Delhi recently that such meetings should be held all across the country to whip up support for the issue. Terming the inordinate delay in building the temple as an insult and betrayal of the entire country, the Seer said there cannot be any compromise on the issue as Ayodhya was no less sacred than a mother.

“Hindus were hopeful that the Modi government will build the Ram Mandir during its tenure. Four-and-a-half years on, it hasn’t been able to deliver on this front. We need to encourage the government and pressure it to build the temple next year. There cannot be any comprise on this issue. The MPs should be ready to even step down if need arises and the government fails to deliver,” the seer said addressing a large gathering who sat on the ground in rapt attention, resembling a blanket of Saffron.

He said if there was no positive development in this regard by January next, all the Sadhus will unitedly take up a decision during the Kumbh Mela to be held in February, he said, giving an indirect warning to the government. He said it required a comprehensive coordination of the government, society and the sadhus in realizing the long-pending dream.

Calling this was the right time to build the temple; he said the Congress would not raise any objections as the elections were nearing. He said the fact that Ayodhya issue was being discussed when the Lok Sabha polls were around the corner should not be considered as a move to drum up support to any political party.

Sohan Singh Solanki, national coordinator of the Bajrang Dal, said the BJP would win the 2019 polls only if it started the construction of the Ram Mandir, else it would bite the dust. He said India will see ‘Achhey Din’ only after Ram Mandir became a reality.

God know what is going at their home of this bhakts. instead of doing such protest if they concentrate on family and personal issues atleast they would get peaceful life. There are many famous temples all over India, is they bothered to visit once in a year?If Also if they do some social work atleast needy people can get benefits.

Bengaluru, Apr 1: The price of petrol and diesel will go up by Rs 1.60 and Rs 1.59 per litre, respectively, from Wednesday. This is in line with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa’s decision to hike the rate of tax on petrol from 32% to 35% and diesel from 21% to 24%.

He had announced this in his March 5 Budget for 2020-21 fiscal. At present, a litre of petrol costs Rs 71.97 and diesel Rs 64.41 in Bengaluru.

The government decided to roll out the hike from Tuesday midnight going into Wednesday, April 1, after briefly considering a postponement in view of the COVID-19 crisis. 

Finance Secretary (Budget & Resources) Ekroop Caur confirmed to DH that the hike will be rolled out. 

The 3% hike on fuel tax was a key resource mobilisation measure that Yediyurappa announced in his Budget. The hike is expected to fetch the government Rs 1,500 crore. 

Yediyurappa had also announced a 6% additional excise duty on Indian Made Liquor (IML), which could help the government mop up Rs 1,200 crore. However, the sale of liquor has been prohibited during the lockdown period. Plus, hiking fuel prices during the lockdown will not hit citizens very hard.
