<p>They were attributed to BJP leader and former local unit president Sanjay Poyra and were seen in areas such as City Centre, Karunamoyee, and other prominent sections of Bidhannagar.</p>
<p>The posters declared that a Ram temple similar to the Ayodhya structure would be constructed on a four bigha plot and invited local residents to contribute Re 1 each towards the initiative. This development follows the recent foundation laying of a Babri Masjid styled mosque by suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir in Rejinagar, Murshidabad, on December 6, the anniversary of the 1992 demolition. The event was held under tight security.</p>
<p>On the same day, the BJP organised a separate ceremony in Manindra Nagar of Banjatiya, also in Murshidabad, where groundwork for a Ram temple was initiated. Local leaders used the occasion to criticise Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for what they described as appeasement politics. With Salt Lake entering the political arena, the confrontation has moved closer to the administrative hub of the state, intensifying the symbolic significance of the ongoing contest.</p>
<p>Speaking to reporters, Poyra described the temple initiative as a social and spiritual movement inspired by the concept of Ram Rajya.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">India is the only country that has been able to stare down China with the might of its border troops and the Chinese will be forced to realise the strategic mistake they are making by provoking a powerful neighbour, BJP leader Varun Gandhi said on Thursday. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In an interview with PTI, the saffron party MP from Pilibhit (Uttar Pradesh) also said it was &#8220;a dream come true&#8221; for him as a devotee of Lord Hanuman that the Ram Temple was being built in Ayodhya after years of struggle. Relating August 5, the day when Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of the temple, with the country&#8217;s Independence Day, Gandhi said, &#8220;India once had a tryst with destiny in August 1947. It has woken up anew, reconnecting with its civilisational ethos.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He said a successful resolution of the Ayodhya dispute is a hallmark of India&#8217;s system of governance, democracy and judiciary, while it also depicts a remarkable amity among people of different creeds and faiths in our country. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;As a bhakt of Hanumanji, the establishment of the foundation stone of the Ram Janambhoomi temple is a dream come true for me,&#8221; the 40-year-old leader said. &#8220;Lord Ram is not just for Hindus, he is a remarkable emblem of the Indic civilisation,&#8221; he added. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the recent stand-off between India and China at LAC, Gandhi said China has been notably aggressive across most of its border areas in the recent past, with tension observed in South China Sea, Senkaku Islands, Taiwan and in Tibet, but &#8220;India remains the only country that has been able to stare down the Chinese, using its border troops.&#8221; </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He further said many policy commentators voice apprehensions about China&#8217;s armed might, but it is often forgotten that India possesses the world&#8217;s largest and most experienced mountain fighting troops. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Describing death of India&#8217;s troops in Galwan Valley as a &#8220;seminal moment&#8221; in Indo-China relations, the BJP leader said he is confident that India&#8217;s armed forces, under Prime Minister Modi leadership, will hold forth and force the Chinese to realise the strategic mistake they are making in provoking India.</p>
