Congress worships M Gandhi’s Shriram, BJP takes Shriram away from Sita and Lakshman : Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah

Bengaluru (Karnataka) – “I have built a Shriram temple in my village. I did not build it for political reasons. Is the Shriram in Ayodhya different from Shriram in villages across India ? BJP is playing politics over Deity Shriram. Congress party worships M Gandhi’s Shriram, while the BJP is taking Shriram away from Seeta, Lakshman and Hanuman”, criticised Karnataka’s Congress Chief Minister Siddaramaiah while talking to reporters after inaugurating a Shriram temple.

Siddaramaiah added, “No politics should happen over Shriram, because Shriram belongs to everyone. He does not belong to the BJP. I am also a devotee of Shriram. BJP is trying to portray that we are against Shriram, but that is untrue. I shall visit Ayodhya at a suitable time for Darshan.”

Editorial Perspectives

  • Congress politicians must explain what they mean by ‘M Gandhi’s Shriram’, because Hindus worship that Shriram protects the people by eliminating Demons like Ravan and several others.
  • If the Congress party had really worshipped Deity Shriram, it would have built a grand temple in Ayodhya immediately after Independence; instead, the Congress politicians tried to demolish Shriram Setu by calling Shriram an imaginary character. Congress party has been glorifying Tipu Sultan, Aurangzeb, Babur and Akbar, not Shriram !
