As the RSS and the VHP upped the ante for the construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday alleged that the BJP is "worshipper of (demon king) Ravana" and not Lord Ram.
The Trinamool Congress supremo also said her party does not try to garner votes in the name of god.
"They (the BJP) perform puja of Ravana and not Ram, they try to spread differences among people," Banerjee said at a public rally here.
She accused the saffron party of trying to divide people in the name of Lord Ram. "They talk of Ram, we pray before Goddess Durga; Lord Ram also performed Durga Puja."
