'BJP Trying To Replace History With Mythology', Says DMK's TKS Elangovan On Invite To PM Modi For Consecration Of Rama Lalla Vigraha

Speaking to news agency ANI about the invitation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the consecration ceremony of the idol of Lord Rama at the Sri Rama Janmabhoomi Temple, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) spokesperson TKS Elangovan, today (26 October) stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was trying to replace history with mythology and using Lord Rama for its political gains.

He said, "What can I say? They have demolished history and replaced it with mythology. Any country should be proud of its history, it should know the history. Ram's birth is mythology, it is a story from Ramayana. It is literature. They want to replace history with mythology. That is what the BJP is trying to do.

"With these people in power, what can we expect?...He wants to make use of it as a political tool. He is not interested in Ram. BJP does not consider Ram as an important thing but their political gain becomes important so they are making use of Ram for their political gains."

Office bearers of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra had met Prime Minister Modi yesterday (25 October) to invite him for the ceremony to be held on 22 January 2024.
