Kharge further accused the RSS of wanting to remain beyond public accountability because of the political influence it currently enjoys. He said defending those allegedly involved in the theft reflected not only political opportunism but also a betrayal of the faith of millions of devotees.
The Karnataka minister claimed that for the BJP and the RSS, the Ram temple had never been solely about faith or devotion but had instead served as a vehicle for political and financial gain.
Kharge’s remarks came shortly after the RSS voiced concern over the alleged administrative and security failures linked to the incident at the Ayodhya temple. The controversy has since escalated into a political flashpoint, with Opposition parties seeking to target the ruling BJP over the handling of the matter.
The exchange of allegations has further sharpened the political debate around the management of the Ram temple, with both sides offering sharply different narratives over the alleged theft and the response to it.
