Ram Mandir donation row: Opposition attacks BJP, demands CBI probe

Leaders from Congress, BSP, and SP have questioned the BJP's handling of funds and called for accountability

In Maharashtra, they manipulated the voter rolls, removing 40 lakh votes within three months... Then, in Haryana, everyone predicted a Congress win, yet the BJP emerged victorious... It is all theft — theft of donations, theft of MP seats, theft and robbery involving the temple. That is why we are opposing them; the fight will continue. They want to eliminate everything so that no opposition remains, but how can the country function then? Is this a dictatorship
Sanjay RautmP
The party that commits Ram-droh by misusing the Ram Temple donation boxes is the same party playing with the future of students today. Even Ravana had many vices, but he never looted donation boxes. Those who call themselves 'Ram bhakts' have looted the Ram Temple donation boxes 66 times in recent months. Mahmud Ghaznavi looted the Somnath Temple 17 times...This, too, must be recorded in history,

We've got inflation that's too high, and it's been too high for the past five years,

Electoral Roll Revision Begins in 5 States, Sparks Political Row

SIR of electoral rolls begins in 5 states including Delhi and Karnataka, igniting a political feud

Prabhu Chauhanformer Karnataka Minister and BJP MLA
From June 30, the SIR process has started in the state. I have a request to the people of Karnataka. Your Booth Level Officer (BLO) will come to your house and give you two forms. You must provide complete details of your family. You must give full information. For that, you should cooperate and not create problems,
Congress is accusing the central government. Why? Because this central government does not have our institution here. The Election Commission conducts elections; it is an independent institution. Today, there is a Congress government here. This is the first time under Congress' rule that SIR is happening. We are not doing it; the institution is doing it. But Congress is making baseless allegations,
Saurabh BhardwajaAP Delhi president
While we are not part of the 'INDIA' alliance, whenever the opposition needs the Aam Aadmi Party, whether in Parliament or on the streets, we stand firmly with the opposition's issues on principle. Sanjay Singh acts as a strong voice for the opposition in Parliament."
Pradeep BhandaribJP national spokesperson
Even the Congress party itself is not taking it seriously. DK Shivakumar, the Congress Chief Minister of Karnataka, was the one who launched SIR in the state and became its brand ambassador there. The reality is that during every election season, the Congress seeks excuses to mask the repeated electoral failures of the Gandhi-Vadra family. Sometimes they blame EVMs, sometimes they allege vote theft, and at other times, they raise issues like SIR."
Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, former CM Siddaramaiah, and our KPCC President are working on this across the state. No matter what we do, every eligible citizen must participate, fill out the enumeration forms, and submit them."
Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta today completed the formalities under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) by submitting the Enumeration Form for herself and her family. She appealed to all eligible electors in Delhi to participate in the ongoing revision process by filling their Enumeration Forms accurately and submitting them to their respective Booth Level Officers (BLOs) within the prescribed timeline,
