‘The essential ingredient of Politics is timing.’ The BJP had promised to build the Ram Temple at Ayodhya for long. But, after gaining a thumping majority in India’s largest state, the BJP looks determined to fulfil its promise. ‘Secular’ parties after taking a beating will bank on the upper house to stall BJP’s progress in the Ram Mandir issue. Senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy had earlier said they would be building the Ram temple by 2018, after gaining majority in the Rajya Sabha.

With the Ram Mandir issue coming to an end, what will news-hungry, TRP-starved channels bank on? Social media has been abuzz with reports of Muslims from Ayodhya supporting the construction of Ram Mandir. Some of our Muslim brothers have openly come out in support of rebuilding the Ram Mandir. The future for the ‘secular’ parties looks bleak. How will they try to induce the religious angle into the debate? It’s going to be an interesting period for the BJP.

The resounding victory in the Uttar Pradesh elections came as a huge relief for all the Hindus who had been fighting for the construction of a Ram temple. There was nothing to be disputed. It was only because of some of the Mughal-loving previous governments, that many Karsevaks had even lost their lives. It is good to see some of our Muslim brothers & sisters coming out & supporting the construction of the Ram Mandir.

Mainstream media may not play this news. Barring, one or two credible news channels, the others may even go on to concoct the facts & present an entirely different picture. The secular brigade may never quote some of these people from the minorities, who have supported the Ram Mandir. Some of the sensible people have realised that the construction of the Ram Mandir will only lead to peace & harmony. Moreover, politics over the issue will come to an end. Seculars, open your eyes – ‘Bure Din aane wale hein.’
