Cong playing politics on temple issue,says BJP
HERALD REPORTER
MARGAO, JAN 8
The Navelim BJP Mandal has lashed out at the Congress for trying to make politics out of the Shri Swami Samarth Temple issue in the Rumdamol Housing Board.
In a press note issued on Saturday, the Mandal said that the Congress tried to make inroads in the BJP dominated Panchayat body by pressurizing government officials to direct the Panchayat body to issue demolition notice to the temple management.
The Mandal said that it is clearly evident that the Congress government tried to capitalize on the situation by again directing the Deputy Director of Panchayats to keep the matter in abeyance.
Asking the Congress party and the leaders not to make a political capital out of the religious issue, the BJP said that the party would regularize the temple once its government comes back to power in the state.
