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.

AIADMK leader denies reports of Palaniswami's proposed meeting with TN Guv
Chennai (PTI): Senior AIADMK leader S Semmalai on Thursday ruled out that his party general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami would be meeting Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar amid the political uncertainty post Tamil Nadu Assembly polls.
There were some reports that Palaniswami is likely to meet the governor to discuss the possibility of forming a government after providing support to TVK, which has 108 seats.
Denying the reports, Semmalai told reporters that "there is no such need". The AIADMK has not received any invitation from TVK, written or oral, seeking support to form government in the state, the former minister said.
To a question whether the AIADMK would support any invitation extended by the TVK, Semmalai said that decision will be taken by Palaniswami.
"Our leader will decide. He is not a king maker. He is the king", he added.
Vijay is making efforts to cobble up support to form his maiden government after his TVK emerged as the single largest party post the April 23 polls, the results of which were announced on Monday.
TVK won 108 seats, 10 short of the simple majority in the 234-member House to form government. The Congress, with five MLAs, has extended support to the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.
