Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a public rally in Udhampur, made a significant remark on the Ram Mandir issue. He stated that the Ram Mandir was never an election issue for the BJP and it will never be one.
“The struggle for Ram temple was going on even before the birth of the BJP,” PM Modi said, emphasizing the historical importance of the issue. He recalled the times when Indian temples were destroyed by foreign invaders and how the Indian people fought to protect their religious places.
PM Modi also criticized the Congress and its allies for their approach to the issue. “The leaders of Congress and its allies lived in big bungalows but when it came to changing the tent of Ram Lalla, they used to turn their backs,” he said.
The Prime Minister’s speech in Udhampur is part of his ongoing efforts to connect with the people and to address key issues of national importance. His remarks on the Ram Mandir issue are expected to resonate with a large section of the population who view the issue not just as a political matter, but as a matter of national pride and cultural identity.
As the country continues to grapple with the complexities of the Ram Mandir issue, PM Modi’s statement serves as a reminder of the cultural and historical significance of the issue, beyond the realm of electoral politics. His address in Udhampur is seen as a call for cultural unity and national pride.
