Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will visit Ayodhya on June 19. This visit is taking place at a time when the matter of alleged irregularities related to offerings and donations in Ram temple is in discussion and the SIT formed to investigate it is active. Meanwhile, there is a buzz in the administrative corridors that the District Magistrate of Ayodhya has indicated to the Trust General Secretary Champat Rai to maintain ‘appropriate distance’ from the Chief Minister during the program. It is believed that this decision has been taken with the aim of ensuring fairness of the investigation process.
SIT investigation and diplomatic distance
According to sources, the three-member SIT team investigating the offering irregularities case is camping in Ayodhya these days. Many senior officials and employees of the Trust are included in the scope of investigation, who are being continuously interrogated. Champat Rai and trust member Anil Mishra are also part of this investigation process. Administrative sources say that in the presence of the Chief Minister, being close to the persons associated with the investigation can raise questions on the impartiality of the investigation, hence Champat Rai has been asked to maintain distance as per protocol.
CM Yogi’s busy schedule in Ayodhya
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s visit to Ayodhya will also focus on accelerating development works. During his visit, the CM will launch a total of 123 projects in Rudauli tehsil of Ayodhya on June 19, which includes the inauguration of 72 and the foundation stone of 51. The highlights of the program are as follows:
-
10:45 am: Darshan and worship in Maa Kamakhya temple.
-
11:00 am: Unveiling of the statue of brave woman Jhalkari Bai Kori and public meeting.
-
3:00 pm: After reaching Ayodhya Dham, darshan and worship at Ramlala and Hanumangarhi.
-
6:15 pm: Participation in the birth anniversary program of Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, President of Ram Mandir Trust. Apart from this, CM will also inaugurate Hunhuna Medical College, Baba Bazar Police Station and inaugurate the new Wax Museum in Ayodhya.
What is the offering controversy?
Allegations of irregularities in the management of offerings and donations at the Ram temple have created a stir in political circles. Considering the seriousness of this matter, the state government had constituted SIT. Since the matter is related to the internal management of the temple complex and the trust, this visit of the Chief Minister is not only important for the development work, but is also a big challenge for the state government to maintain the impartiality of the SIT investigation. This visit of Yogi Adityanath gives a clear message that the investigation work will be conducted as per the law and transparency will not be compromised at any level.
