JAIPUR: Transport minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas slammed the statement made by senior BJP leader Gulab Chand Kataria regarding Lord Ram.
He said that BJP has come to power by taking the name of Lord ‘Shri Ram’ and spreading lies.
“BJP is claiming itself above Lord Ram, Kataria is saying that if he had not been there, ‘Shri Ram’ would have been in the sea... this is an insult to the devotees of Ram,” said Khachariyawas.
He said the BJP came to power in the name of Ram is now insulting Lord Ram.
He said that Kataria has insulted the faith of crores of devotees. BJP is now claiming itself to be above Lord Ram. BJP national president JP Nadda and Prime Minister Narendra Modi should answer to the people of the country.
Khachariyawas said the Supreme Court gave the decision on Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. BJP can only collect donations, it cannot give verdict.
Taking a jibe at Kataria, he said that the BJP leader is not new to controversies. A few months ago Kataria had insulted Maharana Pratap, comments which he had to withdraw later.
