Ram Temple Donation Row: Trust Accepts Champat Rai's Resignation, Appoints Interim General Secretary
Trustees will review resignations, an SIT report and three contenders for general secretary as they weigh a CEO for daily temple administration.
- On Monday, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust meets in Ayodhya to address resignations of General Secretary Champat Rai and trustee Anil Mishra following an alleged donation theft controversy.
- Following an escalated controversy in June, Rai and Mishra were questioned by the Ayodhya Police; trustees will review an interim Special Investigation Team report on the alleged theft.
- While Vishva Hindu Parishad members favor Swami Vasudevanand Saraswati as General Secretary, sources say he remains unwilling to accept the role; three other candidates, including Bajrang Bagad, are under consideration.
- The Trust will discuss appointing a Chief Executive Officer to oversee daily administration. Trust President Mahant Nritya Gopal Das shifted the meeting venue to the Ram Temple guest house due to security concerns.
- Most members favor postponing Rai's successor decision to secure consensus. With Ram Temple construction complete, members who joined solely for the project may step down, signaling a potential leadership transition.
