New Ram Temple CEO Must Take Action Against Those Accused of Donation Theft: UP Congress Chief
Opposition leaders said the move will not restore confidence as the trust also reviewed alleged financial irregularities and a pending probe into offerings accounts.
- On Wednesday, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirth Kshetra Trust appointed retired Air Marshal Jitendra Mishra as its first Chief Executive Officer, leveraging his 39 years of Indian Air Force experience to oversee temple offerings and affairs.
- The appointment follows a Special Investigation Team report flagging "gross lapses" in handling devotee offerings, formed by Uttar Pradesh officials amid public criticism and allegations of negligence regarding temple donations.
- Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel questioned the move, alleging it reflects Prime Minister Narendra Modi's lack of trust in the BJP, RSS, and VHP, and likened the decision to using the Army for exam leaks.
- Imran Masood stated that temple work should remain with religious figures, arguing "That is the job of sadhus and saints," while critics questioned whether a military officer could resolve allegations of financial wrongdoing.
- Surveys project 41 seats for the INDIA Bloc against 38 for the BJP-led NDA, as the ruling BJP faces political headwinds in Uttar Pradesh, a state sending 80 MPs to the Lok Sabha.
