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.
