Temples will also come up in Kashi and Mathura, says suspended BJP MLA Raja Singh
Hyderabad, Mar 31: Shrines would also come up in Mathura and Kashi, following the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya, due to a "push," suspended Telangana BJP MLA T Raja Singh has said.
Singh made the remarks during the 'Shobha Yatra' held on the occasion of Ram Navami on Thursday.
"A grand Ram temple is being built in Ayodhya following a push. Similarily, a grand temple will be built in Mathura and Kashi," he purportedly said in a video, which has gone viral.
In another video, the Goshamahal MLA in Hyderabad, administered a 'sankalp' (resolve) to a gathering to make India an 'Akhand Hindu Rashtra'.
The 'sankalp' also calls for "giving a befitting reply to love jihadis" and for protecting 'sadhu', sant' (holy men) and the women of India.
A senior police official told PTI that they were looking into the contents of the Singh's speech and would seek legal opinion.
On reports of Nathuram Godse's picture being displayed during the procession, the official said they were looking into that also.
Following an uproar over his alleged remarks against Islam and Prophet Mohammed, the BJP had suspended Singh from the party in August 2022. Singh, who was booked over the remarks, was arrested and he later secured bail.
Singh, known for his strong Hindutva views, faces several police cases in Hyderabad, including those related to alleged communal offences.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
