Develop the nation instead of constructing Ram temple: Prof. K.S. Bhagwan
Mysuru, Oct 07: Develop the nation instead of constructing Ram temple, opined noted writer Professor K.S. Bhagwan.
He was speaking at a seminar after garlanding the statue of Mahishasura in Chamundi Betta on Sunday during the celebration of Mahisha Dasara organized by 'Mahisha Mandala Mahadore.'
Hitting out at BJP, he said “there are plenty of people suffering without food, without education, and without space to sleep in the country. Those who do not work for the prosperity of such deprived people are going to build a Ram temple. The anti-constitutional who came to power for five years are diverting the people’s attention towards the Ram temple issue to hide their failures.”
“The crores of money which will be used for building Ram temple must be utilized for the poor, schools, and development works. Instead, do not cause confrontation among religions and casts. Lakhs of people sleep on the streets of Delhi. Use that money to provide shelter to such people,” he said.
We, being the original residents, have to display our solidarity by preserving the constitutional hopes as there is a conflict between the Constitution and the tradition, Professor Bhagavan added.
If Babasaheb Ambedkar was not born in this country, we would not have survived. Ambedkar is not limited to a caste or class; rather he was needed to all, he described.

Will Champai Soren become a game-changer for BJP in Jharkhand polls?
Ranchi: Champai Soren, a prominent figure in Jharkhand’s statehood movement, is contesting the 2024 assembly elections from Seraikela, a seat he has consistently held since 1991.
However, there is a surprising shift in his political journey this year. Having resigned from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) earlier this year, Soren is now representing the BJP, a move that could significantly impact the electoral dynamics in the state.
Soren’s switiching is seen as a strategic benefit for the saffron party, which has been working to expand its appeal among Jharkhand’s tribal communities, a demographic traditionally aligned with the JMM. His departure from the JMM, led by Shibu Soren and his son Hemant Soren, was fueled by dissatisfaction with the state government’s policies, which he claimed had failed to address tribal concerns.
Also known as "Jharkhand’s Tiger" for his instrumental role in the statehood movement of the 1990s, Champai Soren has respect and influence among tribal voters. His decision to switch the party could be a turning point in the BJP’s efforts to gain a stronger hold in a state where tribal votes often decide the outcome.
