NEWSNOTES
 RAJNATH
SINGH
Uttar Pradesh chief minister, on his
plans of a Ram temple in Ayodhya
Q.
You were expected to administer a bitter pill to the patient (Uttar
Pradesh). But it seems you are prescribing sweets to a diabetes patient.
Why?
A. I don't believe that
we have any patented medicine that can cure all the problems. I am an
ordinary man. I am trying to solve things not as a ruler but as a servant
of the people.
Q. There was a breach of security in the
Ram Mandir complex in Ayodhya. This happens only when the BJP is in power...
A. Though we have faith in
Lord Ram, we don't want to play politics in his name. We have already
initiated action against the person responsible. He was there just for
few moments. He didn't go inside the makeshift temple.
Q. Does this mean that the Ram mandir will
be constructed at the disputed site?
A. In my personal view, I believe
that Lord Ram was born in Ayodhya and the mandir should be constructed
there. But we are not in favour of taking the law into our own hands.
Q. If the BJP comes to power with a majority
will it build the temple in Ayodhya?
A. The BJP will form the government
with a majority in Uttar Pradesh. About the Ram temple, the issue should
be resolved through mutual understanding among leaders of the two communities.
Q. UP has produced prime ministers and leaders
like Kalyan Singh. What about you?
A. There is no question of taking
either of the paths. I am not here as CM for ever. One has to remember
that we are only ordinary workers of the party.
