BENGALURU: Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday said people have high standards of expectations from BJP, including on issues like Ram temple and asked them to have faith in the Government, which had taken steps on the matter.
She asked party workers and sympathisers not to complain on this account as genuine work was happening in India, which was at the crossroads and the country could not afford to lose the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing a gathering at an interactive event organised by the Thinkers Forum, she referred to issues like Ram temple and asked the people not to punish BJP for not building it.
“Your high standards of expectations should not be used for this election, like saying no, no, you didn’t build the Ram temple in Ayodhya…
Because the temple couldn’t be built, don’t punish us. I am giving this example because it is very close to my heart.
Sitharaman asked the voters to note the approach of the Government, which had moved the Supreme Court to allot the excess land. (AGENCIES)
