Prime Minister Narendra Modi has failed to meet the expectations which made many vote him to office, said Pravin Togadia, the international head of the Antarrashtriya Hindu Parishad. He was addressing a gathering as part of the October 21 Ayodhya Kooch programme here on Wednesday.
Criticising Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party, he said that those who had been elected with the hope that the Ram temple would be constructed at the lord’s birthplace in Ayodhya had abandoned the issue.
They had been voted to address issues including cow protection but had turned out to be detrimental to the cows. The BJP has forgotten the sacrifice of Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. “When it comes to the SC-ST Act, Modi says that the parliament and not the court will take the decision but when it comes to the Ram Mandir, he says that the court, not the parliament will take a decision. The BJP led Government has completed four years at the Centre but no provision or plan has been made for construction of the Ram temple.
It appears as if the temple is not part of the BJP’s agenda any more. The BJP worked for ‘Congress-Mukt’ Bharat but ended up creating ‘Congress-Yukt’ BJP which is why its ideology too appears to be like that of the Congress,” he said.
While also criticising the government for rising inflation, he, further, alleged that like the Ram temple, the removal of section 370 and 35 A too had been excluded from the BJP’s agenda.
