A public protest was held on behalf of the Lonavala City Mahavikas Aghadi. Rane Murdabad, Rane apologize, and slogans were raised. The BJP has started trying to burn political poli by holding a Ram Mandir event. Ram temple is a question of interest; everyone wants to have a Ram temple in Ayodhya, but the BJP is looking after its own selfishness in the name of temple. All four Shankaracharyas have said that it is wrong to perform Prana Pratishtha in a partially constructed temple. The BJP and its leaders are now asking the opposite question to Shankaracharya and asking for his contribution.
