RJD not BJP will build Ram temple: Tejpratap Yadav

Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD) leader and former Minister in the Nitish Kumar government, Tej Pratap Yadav, in a speech at Nalanda on Friday, said it is the RJD and not the Bharatiya Janta Party(BJP) that will build the Ram temple at Ayodhya.

Tej Pratap, son of former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, said, "Ram temple at Ayodhya will be built by the Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, the most backward people, the poor, and Dalits. All these people will go to Ayodhya and build the Ram temple there brick by brick."

He further said, "We will undertake the construction of the Ram temple and the day we will build the temple, the BJP-RSS combination will come to an end. That will be the day when they will run out of all agendas and will be left empty-handed".

This is not the first time that Tej Pratap has taken on the BJP. Earlier he had allegedly threatened to skin Prime Minister Narendra Modi alive for downgrading his father's security cover from "Z+ to Z".
