Ram Temple Donation Fraud Allegations Spark Political Outcry and Investigation Senior BJP leader Vinay Katiyar, a veteran of the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, has intensified calls for accountability amid allegations of embezzlement of donations at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Katiyar, who has been a prominent figure in the movement and held key positions within the Bharatiya Janata Party, accused those associated with the trust of wrongdoing, warning that such actions would undermine the temple project’s purpose. He urged strict legal action against those found guilty, emphasizing that the sacrifices of thousands of supporters, including former Chief Minister Kalyan Singh’s resignation, should not be exploited. Katiyar’s remarks, which included the phrase “Sab ke sab chor hain” (all of them are thieves), reflect growing concerns about the misuse of donations. The controversy has prompted the Uttar Pradesh government to form a three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the allegations. The SIT, directed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, includes Lucknow Divisional Commissioner Vijay Vishwas Pant, Inspector General of Police Kiran S., and Finance Department Special Secretary Neel Ratan. The team’s formation followed a request from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, which sought an independent investigation to address claims of attempts to tarnish the temple’s image. Two temple employees were arrested shortly after the SIT’s establishment. Authorities recovered approximately Rs 10 lakh in cash from the residence of Lav Kush Mishra, an employee involved in counting donations. The cash was found in a cupboard and allegedly hidden beneath a pile of cow dung. The identity of the second employee remains undisclosed.#yogi_adityanath #bharatiya_janata_party #vinay_katiyar #ram_janmabhoomi_teerth_kshetra_trust #shri_ram_janmabhoomi_teerth_kshetra_trust
