‘If Swami Prasad Maurya has guts…’: Priest slams ex-UP minister over remarks on Ram Mandir donation ‘theft’ case

A heated controversy has erupted in Ayodhya over allegations that ₹5 crore to ₹7.5 crore in donations for the Ram Mandir construction were misappropriated, with SP leader Tej Narayan 'Pawan' Pandey making the accusations. Adding fuel to the fire, a prominent priest has harshly criticized former Uttar Pradesh minister Swami Prasad Maurya for his comments on the issue, suggesting he lacks the courage to confront the matter head-on. This scandal not only underscores the importance of transparency in religious and public funds but also raises questions about accountability and the ethical responsibilities of political figures involved in such projects.
