Sunil Lahiri calls Ayodhya citizens selfish

Sunil Lahiri essayed the role of Lakshamana in Ramanand Sagar's popular television serial 'Ramayana.' On Thursday, he took to social media to share his displeasure with the Ayodhya people's selections in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Sunil criticised the voters for choosing Samajwadi Party candidate Awadhesh Prasad over BJP candidate Lallu Singh. The result came as a shock to many, especially considering the BJP's role in launching the Ram Mandir in January.

In Instagram stories, Sunil Lahri called out the Ayodhya people, calling them "selfish" and accusing them of "betraying their king." He wrote, “We forgot that these are the same Ayodhya citizens who doubted Goddess Sita after she returned from exile. What do you call the person who even denies God? Selfish. History stands proof that the citizens of Ayodhya always betrayed their king. Shame on them (Translated from Hindi).”
