Due to the action of the bulldozer, the main road of Rajgarh town was turned into a ruin. Buildings and shops were demolished without any compensation citing the master plan. The idols of the temple got ruined due to the action of the administration. During this, the 300-year-old Shivling, which was broken with the drill, was also broken. People allege that temples have been demolished under a conspiracy in the name of development.
BJP accuses Congress
There is a lot of rhetoric from both BJP and Congress on this matter. BJP's national spokesperson and MP Rajyavardhan Rathod targeted the state government over this issue and alleged that it is doing politics of appeasement for a particular community. He said, 'Politics of appeasement is happening... the difference is very clear, they only have to send a message to their vote bank.'
Congress retaliated
On the other hand, the Food and Civil Supplies Minister of Rajasthan Government Pratap Singh Khachariawas said that BJP should apologize to the whole country. Khachariyawas said, 'He has broken the temple in Rajgarh and he also lied by breaking the temple. Everyone has documentary evidence that their own board in the municipality made a proposal to this effect. Khachariyawas alleged that BJP is conspiring to cause riots in the entire state and wants to win the lost battle in Rajasthan by misusing social media.
