Ram Mandir Prana Pratishtha: War Of Words Between Devendra Fadnavis & Sanjay Raut Ahead Of Mega Event; ‘I Do Not Answer Fools..,’ Says Dy CM

Published

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and speaker Rahul Narwekar participated in the cleanliness drive in Mumbai’s renowned Mumbadevi temple on Tuesday, ahead of the grand inauguration of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. After Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to clean up temples, several union ministers, chief ministers, and celebrities participated in the cleanliness drive of temples across India.

While addressing the media, Fadnavis reacted to the statement made by Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, saying, “It’s my policy in life that I do not answer fools. But I want to ask them to stop insulting Hindus. You have no contribution to the Ram Janmbhoomi movement. They should stop hurting the sentiments of crores of Hindus.”

Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson and MP Sanjay Raut accused the BJP of overlooking the Shiv Sena and Bal Thackeray’s contributions to the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Raut questioned the actual participation in the Ram Janmabhoomi movement and the December 1992 demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya.

Raut stated, “The BJP has had no role to play in any of the historical struggles that have shaped either India or Maharashtra, be it the freedom struggle, the ‘Samyukt Maharashtra’ movement, or the Ayodhya-Ram Janmabhoomi agitation.”

Additionally, Maharashtra DCM Fadnavis said, “Our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has asked everyone to clean temples across the country before the Pran Pratishtha in Ayodhya. We, too, conducted a cleanliness drive at Mumbai’s Mumba Devi Temple. People of all religions should visit their places of worship.”

Meanwhile, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Union Minister Anurag Thakur participated in the cleanliness drive and were seen cleaning the premises of the Hanuman Temple. Rajnath Singh swept the floor of the Hanuman Temple in Lucknow; the minister is in Lucknow today to attend the Army Day events. And Anurag Thakur cleaned the premises of Hanuman Temple at Connaught Place in Delhi.

The BJP’s president, JP Nadda, started a countrywide temple cleanup initiative on Sunday. The campaign focused on temples and will continue till January 22, the day of the consecration ceremony at the Ayodhya Ram temple.

The Ram Mandir in Ayodhya will witness the ‘Pran Pratishta’ of Lord Ram on January 22. The temple is a place of worship for Hindus worldwide; it was created in the classic ‘nagara’ style and uses some of the most innovative construction techniques. The entire temple is constructed of stone, with no use of iron, steel, or even cement. Lord Ram’s ‘Pran Pratishta’ will be held in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other world-renowned personalities.

Gadchiroli : After the surrender of commander Bhupati alias Sanu and 60 Maoists with weapons, the Naxalites got a shock, confidence in government was restored : Devendra Fadnavis

Published

Mumbai: The end of Maoists in Maharashtra is near. In Gudchiroli, a prominent Maoist, Venugopal Malujo alias Bhupati alias Sonu, who was active in many places, has surrendered along with his associates. 60 Maoists have surrendered before the Gudchiroli police, which is a big success for the Maharashtra Police. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has said that the Naxalites have been eliminated from the state’s Gadchiroli area and many Maoists have surrendered and they have returned to the right path and normal life. Their faith in the Constitution of India and the administration has been restored. It is a great blessing that the Naxalites have been eliminated from the state. Soon, the 10 to 15 Maoists who are hiding in the forests will also surrender. He said that Bhupati had expressed his desire to surrender. The police were in touch with him and then he expressed his desire that he wanted to surrender to me. So I said that I am ready to go to the forest too. But Bhupati was brought here and today Bhupati has surrendered. This is a big success. With the efforts of the central and state governments, the Naxalites have now become unstable and weak, which is why many Naxalites have surrendered before.

Fadnavis has said that the red terror has ended, the surrender of Naxalites from the borders around Gudchiroli is certain, due to the crackdown on Maoists from Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka and other borders, Maoists have either surrendered or repented from Naxalism to a large extent. He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah’s dream of a Pakistan-India relationship with the Naxalites is being realized in shame. Bhupati was a Maoist who was the backbone and ideological ideology of the Maoists. His surrender will further strengthen the police operation. He said that it is the result of the hard work of all the senior officers including Maharashtra Police DGP Rashmi Shukla and the officers involved in the Naxal operation that the Maoists’ back has been broken today. Fadnavis said that there was a reward of Rs 6 crore on the Naxalites and now this Maoist has been brought back to the right path.
