Ram Sethu controversy further fuelled can change polls statistics

Sep 22: Congress getting alert of the political mileage naturally going to Bhartiya Janata Party being a so-called custodian of Hindu interests is reported to make a modest plea to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister not to further push the controversy so as to erode the support base of the Congress party in North especially in Hindu voters due to the adverse comments of the ally of UPA government.

No doubt that Congress is conscious of the coming parliamentary elections which can present a changed graph of the poll’s results if the allies continue to resort to such provocative remarks about the most worshipped god of Hindus which constitute around 80 percent of the population of India.

The Ram Sethu controversy is being used as a chess board on which Lord Ram has been made a Pawn in the hands of politicians who can use him the way they get the maximum gains.

Whole episode can provide BJP a chance to gain its eroded support and lost position at centre.

Prime minister called up DMK leader Karunanidhi and expressed his concerns over the attack on his daughter’s house. He also asked him to restrain himself from giving such statements about Lord Ram as was done in previous days.

Congress for so many days is trying to close the chapter of Ram Sethu and Ram’s existence but its allies are in mood to confront with BJP on the issue.

Following the recent reaction of BJP on the statements of TN CM Karunanidhi Congress once again tried to clarify its approach to the issue that it is a matter of personal belief.

Congress wants to leave no stone unturned to prevent the hijacking of the issue by BJP to its advantage keeping in view the coming elections.
