Ram Gopal Yadav has already given controversial statements regarding the birthday of Lord Ram. On Ram Navami, Ram Gopal Yadav had said that people always celebrate Ram Navami with great joy and enthusiasm. Along with this he had said that Ram Navami has been patented by some people. This is not their inheritance. Ram Gopal Yadav had also said that there is not just one Ram temple in this country. He had accused BJP of incomplete consecration and Shankaracharya was also against it. Ram Gopal had said that he takes the name of God, but is not a hypocrite. He also said that he never worshiped anyone and Lord Ram will punish these people.
Let us tell you that Shri Ram Mandir Teerth Kshetra Trust had invited all the opposition leaders for the consecration, but all the opposition leaders including Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge had distanced themselves from the consecration. Akhilesh Yadav also did not go there. He had written a letter to the Trust and said that he would come later with his family for darshan. The opposition continuously alleges that the consecration of Lord Ramlala in Ram temple is a political program of BJP and RSS.
