The case of theft of Ram temple offerings in Uttar Pradesh has not stopped yet. New revelations, claims and promises are being made every day. Meanwhile, the matter regarding Taj Mahal, which is one of the wonders of the world, has also come to the court. The matter may be in the court but looking at the history of UP and other states, it cannot be denied that there will be politics on this in the times to come.

Allahabad High Court has issued a notice to the Central Government and the Archaeological Department of India seeking their response on the claim of Taj Mahal being Tejomahalaya. After which the matter seems to be heating up regarding this issue. Before the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the ruling and opposition parties may be seen face to face on this issue. Political experts believe that the Bharatiya Janata Party, which calls itself a Hindu party, can benefit from this.

Controversy regarding the Taj Mahal of Agra has been going on for a long time. While Muslims consider this a tomb, some Hindu organizations claim it to be Tejo Mahalaya, the temple of Lord Shiva. Since then this issue is going on in the court. But now politics regarding this is also becoming intense. It is believed that this could be a big political issue before the elections.

The issue of Taj Mahal or Tejomahalaya heated up

On this matter, Dr. Arif, Political Head of Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth, says that all the ancient heritages of the country have their own importance and they reflect the great and wonderful tradition of India. One of these is Taj Mahal. That too is safely preserved under the care of a government institution. Well, the present time is more based on the possibilities of Artificial Intelligence, modernity and technology for India as well as the world. These things also affect a large section of our students, youth and voters. Therefore, now the name of any heritage or place can prove to be more effective in influencing the common people than its original theme.

Politics intensified before UP elections

On the other hand, writer and journalist Dr. Bhanupratap Singh believes that ‘there are many such signs in the Taj Mahal which show that there has been influence of Hindu architecture somewhere in it. There is a drum in it. There are fish, Ram’s name is also written. In view of all these things and the many legends and stories that are there, the High Court has sought an answer from the state government whether it is Taj Mahal or Tejomahalaya.

He said that obviously the Bharatiya Janata Party, famous as a Hindu party, is going to benefit from this in the elections. The other party will also try to take advantage of this. When it comes to Taj Mahal, it becomes a matter of Hindu-Muslim, in such a situation it can be a big election issue. Let us tell you that this matter is still going on in the court but it is certain that there will be politics on it. Earlier, similar politics has been seen on the Babri demolition issue also.

Politics is not showing any signs of stopping regarding the theft of offerings in Ayodhya Ram temple. Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh has written a letter to the chairman of the Special Investigation Team probing this case. The AAP MP has demanded an investigation alleging theft of offerings and scam in the purchase of land by Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.

AAP MP Sanjay Singh has requested for investigation into several land transactions around Ram temple in Ayodhya. He claimed that some properties were bought by the trust at very high prices after acquisition. He has also sent some documents attached to the SIT team and after examining them, he has demanded strict action against the guilty people.

AAP MP wrote a letter to SIT

Sanjay Singh, in a letter written to the SIT, said that due to the scam done by the Trust in the Ram temple of Ayodhya, the faith of crores of Hindus of the country has been hurt. Recently, in this theft, the names of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Trust General Secretary Champat Rai, Anil Mishra, Gopal Rao and Tinnu Yadav have come into discussion due to the theft of offering.

The AAP MP claimed that this is not an ordinary theft. Even before this, a scam worth crores of rupees has been done in the land purchased in the name of Lord Shri Ram. He had presented all the evidence related to this in front of the government, administration and media, on which no action was taken by the government.

Saints of Ayodhya do not trust the SIT investigation of Ram temple offering theft, raised serious questions on these officials

Allegation of scam in purchase and sale of land

Sanjay Singh wrote – In the year 2021, Trust General Secretary Champat Rai bought land worth Rs 2 crore from Sultan Ansari and Ravi Mohan Tiwari for Rs 18.5 crore. I had complained about this to the police station in Ayodhya, on which no action has been taken till date. Similarly, land worth about 3 crores was purchased from Mahant Murli Das for about 24 crores, land worth 9 crores was purchased from Alok Bansal for about 55.5 crores. Apart from this, I have many such land documents in which there is evidence of the trust being corrupt.

He has also attached many documents of the land scam with the letter to the SIT team. Sanjay Singh also mentioned this in the letter and wrote – Documents of about 11 land scams by the Trust are attached to the letter. Please take cognizance of these and investigate the matter thoroughly and take strict action against the culprits.

When ABP News talked to Prathamesh Kumar, Vice Chairman of Lucknow Development Authority about this, he told many important things.

Slogans of Pakistan Zindabad raised during Muharram procession in Bareilly, big revelation in police investigation

There is a tremendous stir in the corridors of power of Delhi at the moment because many big names are being removed from the Modi cabinet one after the other. It has started with the resignation of Union Minister George Kurien and this matter will drag on for a long time. After this, it is almost certain that Ravneet Singh Bittu, Pankaj Chaudhary and Harsh Malhotra will be removed from the post of ministers. There are three big reasons behind all this happening. Let us understand this entire political turmoil…

George Kurien’s resignation: Why and how did it begin?

George Kurien was the Minister of State for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying in the Modi government and was counted among the big faces of BJP from Kerala. The biggest reason behind his resignation is that he is no longer a Rajya Sabha MP. In fact, according to the Constitution of India, any person can remain a minister for a maximum of six months without being a member of Parliament.

Since Kurien’s Rajya Sabha tenure ended and the party did not send him to the Rajya Sabha again, he had to give up his chair due to constitutional compulsion. There is no punishment or resentment, but a technical compulsion, which is now going to become a headache for other ministers also.

Ravneet Singh Bittu’s number: Same constitutional hurdle

According to sources, now the next number could be Ravneet Singh Bittu, who is currently the Minister of State for Railways and Food Processing Industries. His story is also somewhat similar to that of Kurien. Bittu had lost from Ludhiana seat of Punjab in the last Lok Sabha elections, after which the party made him a minister by showing him the way to Rajya Sabha. But now his Rajya Sabha tenure has also ended and he has not been able to reach the House again.

In such a situation, it is almost impossible for him to continue as a minister under the same six-month rule of the Constitution. Sources say that he will also submit his resignation soon. This situation shows how weak can be the political ground of many faces who have been made ministers through Rajya Sabha after losing the elections.

Pankaj Chaudhary and Harsh Malhotra: The noose of ‘one person, one post’

Now comes the turn of those two names, whose departure is being decided for a slightly different reason – Pankaj Chaudhary and Harsh Malhotra. Both of them are currently Lok Sabha MPs and are also Ministers of State at the Centre, hence there is no problem of Parliament membership for them. But the sword hanging over them is BJP’s own internal principle – ‘One person, one post.’

There is a rule in BJP that no leader can hold a big position in both the government and the party organization simultaneously. The party has now made preparations for a large-scale reshuffle in its organization in view of the upcoming elections. In this series, Pankaj Chaudhary and Harsh Malhotra are being given very important responsibilities in the party organization.

It is possible that he will be given in-charge of the upcoming election states or some big post at the national level. As soon as he takes over any major command of the organization, he will have to step down from the post of minister. This is not a punishment, but a part of the party’s strategy in which experienced leaders are directly fielded in the election field.

Mathematics of electoral states: UP, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Gujarat

The real reason for all these resignations and changes is the assembly elections of four states Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Gujarat to be held next year i.e. in 2027. These four states are very important for BJP and the party does not want to take any risk in them. In such a situation, there are two big advantages behind the strategy of removing some faces from the government and sending them to the organization:

• The leaders who will join the organization will be able to focus with full force on election management, booth level work and selection of candidates.
• The new faces that will come in the cabinet will be brought directly from these electoral states so that social and caste equations can be smoothed out.

If sources are to be believed, there will be a new face from Brahmin, Dalit or OBC community from Uttar Pradesh. Dalit or Sikh face from Punjab, Thakur or Brahmin from Uttarakhand and Patidar or tribal community leaders from Gujarat can get a place in the cabinet. This is the reason why the departure of not only these four but also some other ministers is considered certain so that adequate space can be created for the electoral states.

So did George really start resigning?

George Kurien’s resignation is being considered as the beginning of cabinet reshuffle. A cabinet meeting has been called on 24 June 2026, after which major changes can be announced. New faces can be included in the cabinet. There will be special focus on electoral states and the principle of ‘one person, one post’ will be strictly implemented.

Experts say that this is not a common reshuffle. This is BJP’s complete preparation for the 2027 elections. The ministers who contest elections will join the organization and those who join the organization will no longer be ministers. All this is a big equation between power and organization, which the Modi government is trying to achieve before the upcoming elections.
