TIL Desk/National/Udaipur/ Buoyed by the Bharatiya Janata Party’s massive victory in the Lok Sabha elections, Rahstriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat has hinted at stepping up efforts for construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, saying ‘Ram’s work has to be done’.
“We have to do Ram’s work and we will get it done. This is our work. Ram lives in us, so this is our work and we will do it ourselves. Even if we outsource it to somebody, we have to keep an eye,” Bhagwat said while addressing an event in Udaipur in Rajasthan. He, however, asked the people to stay ‘conscious, peaceful, active, and strong’.
The statement by the RSS chief came three days after BJP stormed to power for a second term with a strong mandate of 303 seats. RSS, the ideological mentor of BJP, has repeatedly called for the construction of Ram Temple at the disputed land in Ayodhya. They even demanded from Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance government an ordinance for the construction of the temple.
But the land in Ayodhya has remained disputed for decades, with both Hindu and Muslim groups claiming their right to it. The BJP, in its election manifesto, stated that it would ‘explore possibilities within the framework of the Constitution and take necessary steps to expedite construction of Ram temple’. Bhagwat, however, said, “If we surrender it to someone else, then there will be a need to monitor that person. Ram’s work has to be done and it will be done.”
