Build Ram Mandir before election; it would be difficult without majority
Pejawar seer insists Modi government
Vijayapura, Dec 31: “Before coming to power, the BJP leaders have promised of constructing Ram Mandir in various election rallies. Fulfill those promises before next Lok Sabha elections.
Now, there is government and it has majority. Is it possible to fulfill the promise if there would be no majority in future”, Vishveshwara Thirtha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt asked the BJP government at the centre.
In a media interaction during his visit to Kaggoda to participate in Indian cultural festival on Monday, the Swamiji said that “We have waited for five years for Ram Mandir construction. Now we are prevailing upon the BJP government at the centre. The promises were not fulfilled.
But this is the right time for Ram Mandir construction. Though the Mandir construction issue is in Supreme Court, the centre could bring in Ordinance as per the opinions of legal experts. In view of this, the government should take a strong decision to retain the people’s faith on it”, he said.
”Ram Mandir issue was already discussed in the Dharma Samsath, for which we are giving the deadline till election for the construction of Ram Mandir. The central government should live up to its promises”, he demanded.
Let govt convene meeting
“The government itself should convene a harmony meeting between Hindus and Muslims. Earlier, we had conducted such meetings. When Krishnakanth was the vice president, I had convened Hindu-Muslim meeting. Now, I could not organize such meeting. It is better that the central government should convene such meetings. Let the government invite the Muslim religious leaders and us. It should take the first step of harmony. I would participate if the government convened such meeting”, he said.
Swamiji invites Prof Bhagavan to mutt
It was not fair to insult Sri Rama by Prof Bhagavan and others. Earlier also, an open discussion was called at Mysuru over the issue. But the government did not allow it citing law and order problem.
But he would personally invite Prof Bhagavan to the Mutt and discuss with him. He was ready for discussion. If Prof Bhagavan did not accept his invitation, then he would think that the writer has no courage to face him, the swamiji said.
Farmer-Rama both are important
“Both Rama and farmer are important. Rama is a symbol of self –esteem, farmer is the symbol of the country. The governments should take concerns towards the farmers. I would take both the issue together. The governments should take all possible steps to empower farmers economically”, he said.
When Swamiji was asked about Achche Din and administration, the Swamiji said that he would not speak political issues. Why don’t you question the working style of the government? Ask about it. The state government has not introduced any good programmes. But some programmes of the central government were good, he said.

Statewide ban on IV Ringer Lactate usage: Dinesh Gundu Rao
Bengaluru: In response to the deaths of postnatal women at Ballari District Hospital, the Karnataka government has temporarily suspended the use of IV Ringer Lactate solution across the state as a precautionary measure, Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao announced on Saturday.
Speaking to the media in Bengaluru, the minister explained that doubts about the quality of the IV solution had arisen, prompting the decision. He clarified that Ringer Lactate, along with glucose solutions, has been routinely used in hospitals for years. However, out of the 192 batches supplied by the Karnataka State Drugs Logistics and Warehousing Society, concerns were raised regarding two specific batches.
"In light of these concerns, we stopped the use of all 192 batches as a precaution. Following this, the supplying company obtained a High Court order for testing, and the Central Drugs Laboratory (CDL) conducted an analysis. The CDL report confirmed the usability of the solution, allowing the state to form a technical committee to review and permit the use of certain batches that met quality standards. Despite this, doubts have surfaced specifically at Ballari District Hospital," the minister stated.
To address these concerns, the batches supplied to Ballari Hospital have been sent for anaerobic testing to determine whether the IV solution contributed to the deaths. The test results are expected within a week, after which a final decision on the use of IV Ringer Lactate will be made.
"Until then, we have issued directives to hospitals statewide to suspend the use of IV Ringer Lactate. Every life is important to us, and precautionary measures are essential when suspicions arise," Gundu Rao emphasised.
