Ram Mandir remarks, Sam Pitroda said 60% people of India do not vote for BJP but PM Modi is everybody's Prime Minister. He said that PM Modi should speak more about issues like employment, inflation, science and technology, etc. "My comments on the Ram mandir got twisted.

I am basically protecting the Constitution. I am saying that religion is a very personal matter, leave it to the people. Of course you celebrate, people should celebrate what they want to.

But don't complicate it with politics," he said, responding to his remarks on the Ram Temple, PTI reported. "I have no problem with any religion. It is okay to go visit the temple once in a while, but you can't make that the main platform.

40 percent of the people vote for BJP, and 60 percent of the people do not vote for BJP. He is everybody's Prime Minister and not a party's Prime Minister and that's the message the people of India want him to have. Talk about employment, talk about inflation, talk about science and technology and challenges.

They (people) have to decide what are the real issues- is Ram Mandir the real issue? Or unemployment is a real issue. Is Ram Mandir the real issue or Inflation is a real issue?" he told ANI. The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) was quick to hit back at Sam Pitroda and said he represents the thinking of former Congress President Rahul Gandhi.

"This is Sam Pitroda who is the mentor of Rahul Gandhi. A lot of it represents the thinking of Rahul Gandhi that Hindutva doesn't matter. Terrorism doesn't matter because of appeasement.
