Ballia (UP), Nov 23: Controversial BJP MLA Surendra Singh has warned that 1992 could be repeated in Ayodhya, if required, during a "Dharam Sabha" to be held November 25.

Taking part in a rally to mobilise people for the event, the BJP lawmaker told reporters Thursday that 5,000 people from his constituency, Bariya, would travel to participate in the "Dharam Sabha" where the issue of Ram temple's construction would be taken up by saffron outfits.

He said "law and order is not an issue as far as Lord Ram is concerned...he will take care of it".

Singh said if the need arose, they would take the law into their hands for the temple's construction, like it was done in 1992 for the demolition of Babri mosque.

The legislator asserted that Ram temple would be constructed under the Narendra Modi and Yogi Adityanath governments.

He had come under fire in April for calling West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee 'Surpanakha' and comparing opposition Congress to 'Ravana'.

In July, Singh had said that even Lord Rama cannot curb rapes, prompting Congress to dub him "insane" and fit for a mental asylum.

Bagalkot: The Congress has secured a victory in the Bagalkot Assembly by-election, with its candidate Umesh Meti winning the seat after maintaining a lead from the first round of counting till the end.

The seat had fallen vacant following the death of sitting MLA H Y Meti. Umesh Meti, his son, has now been elected to the Assembly.

Party leaders attributed the victory to a combination of factors, including sympathy votes, the state government’s schemes, and campaign strategies led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and senior leader Satish Jarkiholi.

The Congress maintained a consistent lead throughout the counting process, eventually securing a decisive win in the constituency.
