PM Must Break Silence Over Ayodhya Ram Mandir Theft, Dissolve Trust: Congress’ Shrinate Congress national spokesperson Supriya Shrinate intensified criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling BJP on Tuesday, accusing the government of failing to address alleged financial misconduct at Ayodhya’s Ram temple. Speaking in Nagpur, Shrinate demanded that Modi break his silence on the controversy surrounding the theft of donations from the temple, order a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe under the supervision of a sitting Supreme Court judge, and make the findings of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) public. She framed the issue as an attack on Hindu faith and a breach of public trust, calling for the dissolution of the Ram Mandir Trust. Shrinate alleged that the RSS, the ideological parent organization of the BJP, had infiltrated key institutions and enabled corruption, including the theft at the temple. She accused the RSS of orchestrating “thefts, dacoity, and destruction” wherever it held influence, and called for the organization to be registered, its finances audited, and its leadership exposed. The Congress leader emphasized that Modi, who had publicly supported the temple’s construction from its inception, had a moral obligation to address the allegations. “Why is he silent when serious financial issues have surfaced?” she asked, arguing that the nation deserved transparency. The controversy centers on the disappearance of millions of rupees in donations allegedly entrusted to the Ram Mandir Trust. Shrinate claimed that Trust officials, including general secretary Champat Rai and member Anil Mishra, had resigned but were given a “clean chit” by authorities. She questioned the credibility of their exonerations, suggesting the investigation lacked rigor.#supreme_court #narendra_modi #central_bureau_of_investigation #ram_mandir #supriya_shrinate

Police Recover ₹10 Lakh from Ram Mandir Employee's Home, Including Cash Found in Cow Dung Authorities in Ayodhya have reportedly uncovered approximately ₹10 lakh in cash from the residence of Luv Kush Mishra, an employee of the Ram Mandir. The discovery was made during an investigation into allegations of misappropriation of donations at the temple. According to police officials, a portion of the cash was found in a cupboard, while the remaining amount was concealed beneath a pile of cow dung. Mishra, who was tasked with recording donations at the site, is now under scrutiny as part of the probe. The incident has intensified scrutiny over the management of funds at the Ram Mandir, which has been a focal point of public and legal attention due to ongoing disputes over the temple's finances.

Vivekanand Nagar’s Lone Playground Left Neglected, Locals Seek CM’s Help Residents of Vivekanand Nagar in Nagpur have raised concerns over the severe neglect of the neighborhood’s sole playground, which has deteriorated into an unsafe and unusable space. The community has turned to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to address the issue, highlighting systemic failures in maintaining public infrastructure. The playground, located near a local Ram Mandir, was once a vibrant hub for sports activities, hosting cricket and handball matches with amenities like floodlights, water supply, and a seating gallery. However, years of disrepair have left it in a state of abandonment. Society secretary Vinay Nagdev described the current condition as alarming, noting that the ground is now waterlogged during monsoons, riddled with potholes, and surrounded by overgrown trees that pose safety risks. The absence of electricity and water supply has further rendered the space inaccessible. Nagdev emphasized that the playground is the only open recreational area for four to five colonies, making its neglect particularly detrimental to the community. Residents allege that the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has failed to perform routine maintenance, allowing the site to fall into disrepair. The lack of upkeep has also led to an increase in anti-social activities, with the once-crowded spectator stands now serving as gathering spots for criminal elements. Nagdev stated that locals have repeatedly reported these issues but have received no meaningful response from authorities. The situation has intensified criticism of civic governance, with residents accusing the NMC of neglecting public spaces across the city.#nagpur #devendra_fadnavis #nmc #ram_mandir #vivekanand_nagar
Bharat’s Identity Needs No Label, Says Bhagwat Mohan Bhagwat, chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), asserted that Bharat’s identity as a Hindu Rashtra is "inherent" and does not require formal declaration, arguing that public perception has already evolved to accept it. Speaking at a ceremony in Nagpur for those associated with the Ayodhya movement, Bhagwat emphasized that the construction of the Ram Mandir marked a pivotal moment in shaping the nation’s identity. "Hindustan is a Hindu Rashtra. At first, people used to laugh at that. Even until the Ram Mandir was built," he said, adding, "Today, those very people are saying that Hindustan is the country of Hindus. They tell us to declare it formally. We say there is no need for a formal declaration. Sun rises in the east. Should that be declared?" Bhagwat framed the Ram Mandir’s construction as a convergence of faith and collective effort, stating that the temple was built by the will of Shri Ram but its realization required societal contribution. "The temple was built by the will of Shri Ram but His will bear fruit only after we contribute as He waits and watches," he said. He described the temple as "only the beginning," linking it to broader questions about India’s national identity. "We attained Independence, but it came in a fragmented form. Bharat was acting, but in darkness," he said, noting that confusion over "what is Bharat" shaped discourse for decades. Referring to political changes in 2014 under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bhagwat suggested the period marked a clearer assertion of national identity. "Technically, we did get Independence on Aug 15, 1947. But even then, we were not certain about ourselves," he remarked, citing international commentary.#narendra_modi #rashtriya_swayamsevak_sangh #mohan_bhagwat #ram_mandir #ayodhya_movement
