'BJP Will Build Grand Sita Temple in Sitamarhi': Amit Shah Promises in Mega Bihar Rally

Union Home Minister Amit Shah promised at a mega rally in Bihar on Thursday that the BJP will construct a temple of Goddess Sita in Sitamarhi.

“We, the BJP don’t get scared of the ‘vote bank’. PM Modi has built the temple of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya now the work that is left is to build a great memorial at the birthplace of Ma Sita. Those who kept themselves away from Ram temple can’t do this, but if someone can build a temple as ideal as the life of Ma Sita, it’s Narendra Modi, it’s BJP,” the Home Minister was quoted by ANI as saying while speaking at a rally in Bihar’s Sitamarhi.

Sitamarhi, among the 40 Parliamentary constituencies in Bihar, will go to polls in the fifth phase of Lok Sabha elections on May 20.

During the rally, Home Minister Amit Shah also launched a scathing attack on Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad over his party’s association with the INDIA bloc.

“Today Lalu Yadav, for the sake of power politics, to make his son the Chief Minister, has gone and sat in the lap of the Congress party, which has spent its entire life opposing the backwards and extremely backwards,” Shah said.

“Congress, RJD never thought of conferring Bharat Ratna on ex-Bihar CM Karpoori Thakur, it was done by the Modi government,” he added.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP-led NDA won 39 of the 40 seats in Bihar.
