Talking about Ram temple, Shivpal said, “There will no Indian who does not believe in Lord Ram. However, there are many people who take Lord Ram’s name and blow trumpet in society, but do not follow his ideals.”

Taking an apparent dig at the BJP, Shivpal said, “Ram belongs to everyone and no one should be despised in the society created by him (Lord Ram).”

Sometimes, certain laws are enacted which does not make elections fair and people fail to elect representatives of their choice, he added.
