A day after PM Modi received the invitation to attend 'pran pratishtha' (consecration ceremony)of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, DMK leader TKS Elangovan said PM Modi was not interested in Ram but wanted to make use of the invite as a political tool. Further, he said the BJP wanted to replace history with mythology. He reiterated that it was what the party was trying to do.


On the invitation to PM Modi for 'pran pratishtha' of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, DMK leader TKS Elangovan said, "What can I say? They have demolished history and replaced it with mythology. Any country should be proud of its history, it should know the history. Ram's birth is mythology, it is a story from Ramayana. It is literature. They want to replace history with mythology."

"That is what the BJP is trying to do. With these people in power, what can we expect?...He wants to make use of it as a political tool. He is not interested in Ram. BJP does not consider Ram as an important thing but their political gain becomes important so they are making use of Ram for their political gains," he said.
