"Made Up": Nripendra Misra Denies Ram Temple Construction Irregularities Amidst Letter Controversy

Nripendra Misra, chairman of the Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust's construction committee, has dismissed allegations of financial irregularities in the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. The accusations emerged after an unsigned letter, purportedly from Champat Rai, the Trust's general secretary, circulated on social media. The letter, which surfaced on Thursday, raised questions about the financial transactions involved in the acquisition of land for the temple. Misra's statement directly refutes the claims, asserting that the temple construction is proceeding without any impropriety. The controversy centers on land deals made by the Trust, with the letter suggesting that certain purchases were made at inflated prices. The Trust was established by the Indian government to oversee the temple's construction following a Supreme Court ruling.
