[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Sidharth Nath Singh says Swami Brahma Yogananda had said Narendra Modi will become Prime Minister and has now predicted construction of the temple by 2019

Reviving the BJP’s decades-old communally divisive agenda of constructing a Ram Mandir in Ayodhya at the site of the Babri Masjid demolition, Uttar Pradesh’s health minister Sidharth Nath Singh has said that an astrologer who had predicted Narendra Modi elevation as India’s prime minister has now said that a grand Ram Temple will be erected before 2019.

Asserting that people who were initially against the idea of constructing a Ram Mandir at the disputed Ram Janmbhoomi-Babri Masjid site in Ayodhya have now come around to wish for the construction of the temple, Singh said: “Swami Brahma Yogananda had predicted Modi ji will become PM, and he has now predicted a grand Ram Temple before 2019.”[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]Singh’s comments come at a time when the Uttar Pradesh government, under the chief ministership of Gorakhpur peeth’s head priest Yogi Adityanath, is increasingly endorsing grand celebrations of Hindu festivals. The state, which had seen a spurt of communal violence in the run up to assembly elections that were held earlier this year, is witnessing renewed bids of asserting the religious identity of Hindus.

Shortly after Singh’s comments, Adityanath too claimed that the “people want construction of a Ram Temple” but added that the matter was currently subjudice.

The celebrations, which will be held at the banks of the Saryu river in Ayodhya, will be attended by the CM, Governor Ram Naik, as well as the state cabinet and government officials. Earlier the chief minister had endorsed grand celebrations of janmasthami at police stations across the state.

The UP chief minister has also made it clear that he will increase his visits to Ayodhya – a comment that is seen as an indication of the government’s endorsement of efforts to build the Ram temple in the historic city and fulfill its agenda that dates back to 1989. The BJP’s quest for building a Ram Mandir in Ayodhya had led to the demolition of the 16th century Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992 by BJP kar sevaks led by party leaders like LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharti – all of whom are currently facing a renewed trial in cases linked with this dark chapter in India’s history that triggered nationwide communal riots.

On July 6 this year, at least three trucks of red stones were brought for building the Ram temple in Ayodhya, under the supervision of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP). The carving of stones for the temple is being done under the supervision of an organisation of VHP, ‘Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas’ and saints.

In August this year, the Supreme Court had said that it will commence final hearing of the long-standing Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title dispute from December 5, a day before the 25th anniversary of the demolition of the medieval-era structure.

The apex court, after an intense deliberation for more than one-and-half-hours on August 12, reached a consensus on commencement of the hearing on a total of 13 appeals filed against the 2010 judgement of the Allahabad High Court in four civil suits.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

After spending nearly 11 hours before the Enforcement Directorate, TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee said he would not bow to the BJP and accused the ruling party of using investigative agencies for political purposes.

Abhishek Banerjee

Trinamool Congress leader and Diamond Harbour MP Abhishek Banerjee on Tuesday said he would not bow to the BJP after spending nearly 11 hours being questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with an ongoing investigation.

Speaking after the questioning, Banerjee alleged that central agencies were being used to target opposition leaders and asserted that he would continue his political fight despite what he described as sustained pressure.

The TMC leader has repeatedly maintained that investigations involving him are politically motivated, a charge he has made on several previous occasions while appearing before central agencies.

His appearance before the ED comes amid a period of heightened political activity and multiple investigations involving leaders in West Bengal. Recent days have also seen Banerjee face summons and questioning in separate matters by state investigative agencies.

After leaving the ED office, Banerjee reiterated that he would not be intimidated and said he remained committed to his political responsibilities. He also accused the BJP of attempting to weaken opposition parties through investigative action, an allegation that the BJP has rejected in the past.

The Enforcement Directorate has not publicly commented on Banerjee’s remarks. The investigation related to the questioning remains ongoing.

DMK attacks Rahul Gandhi, accuses him of weakening opposition unity

DMK has intensified its criticism of Rahul Gandhi, alleging that the Congress leader’s actions have weakened opposition unity and strained relations within the INDIA bloc.

Rahul-Gandhi

The war of words between the DMK and Congress has intensified, with the DMK launching a strong attack on Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and accusing him of contributing to divisions within the opposition alliance. The criticism comes amid strained ties between the two parties following their political split in Tamil Nadu.

According to the DMK, Rahul Gandhi’s political approach has weakened unity among opposition parties. The party’s IT wing mocked the Congress leader on social media, while an editorial published in the DMK’s official mouthpiece Murasoli questioned his recent remarks on opposition solidarity.

DMK questions Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on opposition unity

In its editorial, Murasoli argued that Rahul Gandhi was speaking about opposition unity despite, according to the DMK, contributing to disagreements among alliance partners in several states. The publication cited criticism directed at Congress by various opposition parties and suggested that the party’s actions had often created tensions within the INDIA bloc.

The editorial also referred to past political disputes involving Congress and Left parties, particularly in Kerala, claiming such episodes had raised concerns among opposition allies about Congress’s approach toward its partners.

Tamil Nadu political fallout adds to tensions

The attack comes after a major political realignment in Tamil Nadu. Following the 2026 Assembly elections, Congress ended its alliance with the DMK and joined the government led by Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). The move left the DMK in the opposition and significantly altered the political equation between the two former allies.

The DMK has alleged that Congress benefited from the alliance during the election and later abandoned its partner. The party’s editorial questioned whether assurances from Congress leadership would be trusted by alliance partners after the developments in Tamil Nadu.

Congress rejects allegations

Congress has not issued a detailed official response to the editorial, but party sources have rejected the allegations. According to the party, its decisions in Tamil Nadu were made in line with the mandate delivered by voters and were not intended to undermine either the DMK or the broader opposition alliance.

The latest exchange highlights growing strains between two key opposition parties even as leaders continue to stress cooperation on national issues. Just days earlier, Rahul Gandhi had said that the DMK remained aligned with the opposition on defending the “idea of India” despite political differences.
