BJP doesn't have interest to solve Ayodhya issue: CM Ibrahim
Hubballi, November 2: Senior Congress leader and MLC CM Ibrahim said that the ruling BJP has no will power to solve Ayodhya issue.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, he said that the BJP leaders have been asking votes in the name of Ram Mandir. Just constructing temples and masjids was not a religion, he said.
"We don't have any objections to construct Ram Mandir. Cows are being worshipped in Uttar Pradesh where BJP is ruling. What about in Goa where BJP is ruling? The present political situation is stopped to the low level. After Narendra Modi led government came to power, the export of beef was increased considerably. Many BJP leaders owned slaughter companies", he alleged.
The people in the country would give befitting reply to the BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Congress-JDS coalition candidates would win in the by-election to the three Lok Sabha and two Assembly constituencies in the state, he exuded confidence.
In Karnataka, the coalition would win all the 28 Lok Sabha seats in the next election. There was no BJP in Ramanagara constituency. Instead of Ram Mandir, Narendra Modi has been thinking more about the wives of Muslims, he ridiculed.
