BJP dumped Ram temple issue after getting power: Togadia
Lucknow, Sep 14 : Former Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) President Praveen Togadia on Friday accused the BJP of coming to power by promising a Ram temple at Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh but dumping the issue thereafter.
Addressing a rally at the Janakpuri ground in Akbarpur, he said: "They always said that 'we will build a grand Ram temple at Ayodhya when we come to power with a majority'... now, four years have passed, and look, nothing has been done."
"The BJP came to power at the Centre due to votes of crores of Hindus. Now, they only remember the welfare of Muslim women... that's how they have betrayed you," the former VHP leader said.
Togadia questioned the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leadership that if a law could be enacted on the triple talaq issue, why couldn't a law be made to facilitate the construction of the Ram temple.
He said he will lead a march from Lucknow to Ayodhya on October 21 to "awaken" the government on the issue.
Togadia accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of forgetting the "supreme sacrifices made by hundreds of people during the Ram Janmabhoomi movement" and pointed out that Modi had not visited Ayodhya even once in the past four years.

Man runs over security guard with his SUV for objecting to his honking, held
New Delhi, Mar 5 (PTI): A 24-year-old SUV driver "intentionally" ran over a security guard posted at Delhi airport’s terminal-3 after he objected to his honking, an official said on Monday.
The accused, identified as Vijay alias Lale, was arrested under attempt to murder charges, he said.
The incident took place on Sunday morning when Rajiv Kumar, working as a security guard, came to Mahipalpur by a cab. He got from the vehicle and was crossing the road to reach his home when Vijay, driving Mahindra Thar, starting blowing his horn loudly from behind, a senior police officer said.
Upon objecting, the accused threatened Rajiv that if he crosses the road he would crush him with his SUV, police said.
According to the CCTV camera footage, which surfaced online, the Thar driver was seen running over Kumar, dressed in security guard’s uniform with a baton, twice publicly.
Kumar suffered multiple crushed and fracture injuries over legs and ankle.
"Lale, a resident of Rangpuri, was arrested and the SUV allegedly used in the crime was seized," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Surendra Choudhary said in a statement.
An FIR was registered at Vasant Kunj South police station and an investigation was launched, said the DCP.
He said that the team examined footage from the crime scene and surrounding areas which helped them identify the offending vehicle's registration number. The footage showed the SUV hitting the victim, after which it fled from the spot.
They conducted an extensive search of CCTV footage at and around the vicinity of the scene of crime. The offending vehicle was identified through CCTV footage and the owner of the vehicle was traced.
"A notice was served under sections 133 of the Motor Vehicle Act to the owner of the vehicle. During investigation offender driver Lale (24) was arrested," he said, adding that further investigation is under progress.
