Temple purification row: BJP asks why was CM quiet so far

‘It is suprising that Manjhi kept quiet on the alleged temple purification incident for months... he should have taken action against whosoever responsible for it immediately after,’ Modi told reporters on the sidelines of ‘Janata Durbar’ at his official residence here.  More than chief minister’s silence, doubts have surfaced over authenticity of the incident with Manjhi and his Minister Ramlakhan Ram making contradictory statements, he said.

Under the circumstances, it will be in the fitness of things that either the chief minister sack his ministerial colleague for countering his claim, Modi said.
