The case of alleged theft of donations and offerings of the grand Ram temple in Ayodhya has now taken a completely political colour. In this high-profile case, the police and security agencies have taken major action and have so far arrested 8 accused, who are facing serious allegations of tampering and rigging the temple offerings. Considering the sensitivity of the matter, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the police has been formed, which is thoroughly investigating the role of every person associated with the money management of the temple and counting of offerings. At the same time, this criminal investigation turned into a major political upheaval when claims were made that the main accused in this case, Ramshankar Yadav alias Tinnu Yadav, was directly connected to the top leadership of the Samajwadi Party.
New controversy erupts over BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s claim
This entire controversy came to light when Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey made a shocking claim on social media. While sharing a post, he wrote that the arrested accused Tinnu Yadav used to talk continuously on phone with Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav. It was even said in the claims that even on the day of their arrest, the two had talked on phone three times. The BJP MP sarcastically wrote on social media, “Tinnu was talking to Tippu.” As soon as this post came out, there was a stir in the political circles of Uttar Pradesh.
Akhilesh Yadav gave direct warning of defamation and legal action
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav has taken a very strict stance on these claims and social media posts of the BJP MP. He has given a strong warning to BJP MP Nishikant Dubey and other leaders, saying that if this controversial and fabricated post made against him is not immediately removed from social media and a public apology is not made, then he will take strict legal and defamation action against them in the court of the country.
SIT is investigating the call timeline of the accused
On the other hand, the SIT investigating the case is now examining the timeline of this entire incident very closely. In fact, the first case of alleged theft of donations in the temple came to light on June 5 itself, but during that time no major action was taken immediately by the police. The investigating agencies are now finding out whether the information about the matter had already reached the leaders of the political parties before it became public and the arrests were made.
Tempo driver turned accused into VHP worker and then temple’s ‘trusted’
The background of Ramshankar Yadav alias Tinnu Yadav, who has been made an accused in this case, is also very shocking. According to police sources, Tinnu Yadav is an ordinary tempo driver by profession. By being active as a Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) worker in Ayodhya, he gradually won the trust of the temple administration and senior officials there. On the basis of this trust, he was entrusted with the important responsibility of the core team of collecting the offerings of lakhs of devotees from India and abroad coming to the Ram temple and counting them after taking them out of the donation box, taking advantage of which the rigging was carried out.
SP chief defended, said- ‘Fungi is hanged, Shakh is forgiven’
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav has openly defended the accused Tinnu Yadav. He wrote a very sharp phrase on this entire matter on the social media platform Akhilesh Yadav’s direct allegation is that in this big rigging, big and influential people associated with the temple administration and institutions are being completely protected, while very small and poor level people like Tinnu Yadav are being made pawns and action is being taken against them. He has described Tinnu Yadav as completely innocent.
Will the offering of Ram temple become a big issue in the upcoming elections of UP?
Senior political analyst Rajendra Kumar believes that this matter can prove to be very politically harmful for the ruling BJP government of Uttar Pradesh in the future. Now only about six months are left for the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. In such a situation, the opposition parties have got a huge weapon to corner the government on the issue of corruption. The opposition is presenting this alleged theft by directly linking it to the administrative failure of organizations associated with BJP and Sangh (RSS).
Since Ram Temple is not only the center of deep faith of crores of people in the country, but has also been the biggest ideological and political agenda of BJP, hence the financial scam at this holy place can decide the condition and direction of the country’s politics in the coming days. At present, the biggest challenge before the SIT is to find out the authenticity of the phone calls of the accused and to clarify whether these conversations had any direct connection with the theft of the temple or not.
