Call to vote against BJP if Ram Mandir is not built, warns Pramod Mutalik
Madikeri, November 12: Sri Rama Sene chief Pramod Mutalik warned of giving a call to vote against the BJP in the forthcoming Lok Sabha election if failed to start the construction of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya before the election.
Speaking to reporters at Gonikoppal near here on Monday, Mutalik said that last time, the voters have voted the BJP on the grounds of development and Hindutva. The BJP should start constructing the Ram Mandir, the emotional symbol of all Hindus of the country. While giving verdicts on religious issues, the concerned courts have to consider the opinions of the elders of respective religions, he said on Sabarimala temple issue.
Thanking the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister for absenting from the Tipu Jayanti programme, he said that Muslims have opposed the Tipu Jayanti. Year on year, the Jayanti has been losing its importance and next year, Tipu Jayanti would not be held. The absence of the Congress leaders from Tipu Jayanti which is being held for vote bank, was showing their consciences. Those who term Tipu as the freedom fighter should go through the history, he said.
Though the government has announced the Kittur Chennamma and Valmiki Jayanti, the ministers and elected representatives were missing the programmes which is an insult to the personalities, he said.
Sri Rama Sene activists Ganesh and Ashok Rai were present at the press conference.
