Shiv Sena spokesperson Sanjay Raut has reportedly according to a report by ANI has said that people will ‘beat them with shoes’ if they do not fulfil the promise of Ram Temple construction this time.
“In 2014, we promised construction of the Ram temple but we did not accomplish it. The concluded election was also fought in the name of Lord Ram. Before elections, we went to Ayodhya with party chief Uddhav Thackrey ji, we have committed ourselves to the construction of the temple and I feel this time around Ram temple’s construction will start. Because if we don’t, the country will stop trusting us and us with shoes in anger,” he said while speaking to ANI. Raut stated that the temple will be built soon as NDA has a majority in the Lok Sabha with 350 seats.
“Now BJP has 303 MPs, Shiv Sena has 18, NDA has more than 350, what more is needed to construct the temple?” he asked. On 27 May, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had 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 had said while addressing an event in Udaipur in Rajasthan.
