Hitting out at the BJP ahead of the consecration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22, Congress leader Udit Raj on Sunday said it didn’t hold a copyright on the Lord.
Speaking to ANI on Sunday, the Dalit leader said, “Who are they (Opposition) to invite Opposition leaders to the event? Do they hold a copyright on Lord Ram?”
“When the questions are raised if RSS or BJP are inviting Opposition leaders, they say they are not. They are saying that the Ram Janmabhoomi Trust is sending out invites for the event. Whose trust is this? Does it have nothing to do with the BJP?” On the promise of the BJP-led Centre to take India to being the third-largest economy in the world if elected for a third, straight time, Udit Raj said the country would soon compare with the backward nations of Africa. “India will soon be downgraded to an underdeveloped country, mark my words. Only the personal net worth of some capitalists by leaps and bounds. However, the per capita income of the people will decrease and we will draw comparisons with the backward countries of Africa,” he added.
