C: UP Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana’s Remark Sparks Political Storm
Mahana said donors who want money back may not have given with genuine faith as opposition parties accused him of insulting devotees.
- On Wednesday, Uttar Pradesh Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana clarified his controversial remark that only those who did not donate to the Ram Temple with "true faith" were claiming their offerings had been stolen.

- Congress spokesperson Anshu Awasthi sarcastically questioned if there was any "GPS" to measure devotion, while Samajwadi Party leader Ashutosh Verma labeled Mahana's statement "absurd" regarding the theft of 140 crore Indians' faith.
- Mahana told ANI that the government and temple trust are taking action against those responsible for the theft, regardless of their position, while reaffirming his contribution to Lord Ram.
- The controversy intensifies debate in Uttar Pradesh over accountability, following an SIT report identifying Tinnu Yadav as a key conspirator in the donation theft case, which was allegedly suppressed.
