‘Lord Ram Will Ask Questions Of Unemployment, Inflation To PM Modi’: RJD’s Manoj Jha

RJD MP Manoj Jha on Monday took a sharp jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the inauguration of Ram Temple In Ayodhya on January 22.

He said Lord Ram would question the latter over unemployment and inflation if he descends on earth after the grand event.

The attack comes days after Congress leader Sam Pitroda said that the Ram Temple wasn't the biggest national issue.

"My faith is my personal thing, even God will be distressed by the ungraceful public display of it. If 'Maryada Purushottam' himself comes to earth after January 22 'Pran Pratishtha', he will ask questions to PM Modi. He will ask where is employment for my youths, and why is there so much inflation in the country?," Jha was quoted by news agency ANI as saying.

Earlier, former Bihar CM Lalu Yadav's son and RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav said Lord Ram will only arrive home if the INDIA alliance wins the Lok Sabha elections.

"Lord Ram will come home only when the INDIA bloc wins in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections," he has said. 
BJP has slammed Yadav's remark.

"These people of INDI alliance...they are continuously attacking Sanatana and insulting the Hindu religion...They don't dare to say anything about Christianity or Islam. They say whatever comes to their mind...Today, when crores of people of the country are preparing to go to Ram Temple, it is wrong to call that temple a symbol of slavery, whereas the temple is a symbol of freedom from the cultural slavery that existed in this country," said BJP’s Sushil Kumar Modi.

Earlier, INDIA members Sitaram Yechury and UBT Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut have said they will not attend the consecration ceremony of the temple in Ayodhya.

The Congress, however, has maintained its silence over the January 22 event in UP’s Ayodhya.
