Panaji, July 4, 2026: Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday visited the Maruti temple in Panaji, where he said he prayed for strict action against those involved in the alleged “chanda chori” at the Ayodhya Ram Temple and against those allegedly protecting them.
Prayers And Allegations
Speaking to reporters after offering prayers, Kejriwal alleged that millions of devotees had donated to the Ayodhya temple with faith and devotion, and that any “misappropriation” of those donations amounted to a betrayal of their trust.
The AAP leader claimed that a former Union Home Secretary had donated a one-kilogram gold copy of the Ramcharitmanas, the revered Hindu epic by Tulsidas, to the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, PTI reported.
BJP Rejects Allegations
Kejriwal's remarks came days after his visit to Ayodhya, where he offered prayers at the Ram Temple and alleged at a press conference that authorities were attempting to shield those involved in the alleged “chadhava chori” (theft of offerings).
During the visit, the AAP chief alleged that “people from top to bottom” were involved and questioned why strict action had not been taken against those accused. Referring to Ram Temple Trust General Secretary Champat Rai, he also alleged that even senior leaders in the ruling establishment appeared unwilling or unable to act decisively.
Kejriwal said society must collectively ensure accountability if institutions fail to do so. “Those who could betray Bhagwan Ram can betray anyone,” he said, describing the issue as a “dharma yudh”.
