AAP's Sanjay Singh Alleges Missing Crores in Ram Mandir Donation Controversy

Political tension around donations to the Ayodhya Ram Mandir has intensified, with opposition parties accusing the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party of serious financial irregularities. Allegations centre on suspected misuse of around Rs 7 crore collected for the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple, raising fresh questions about oversight of temple funds.

The dispute gained momentum after reports emerged of alleged misappropriation and arrests linked to donations meant for Ram Mandir construction. Different versions have appeared about the ongoing inquiry and official findings. Despite this, opposition leaders are treating the reported shortfall as evidence of wider corruption and are pressing for clear answers.

Ram Mandir donation controversy and alleged Rs 7 crore mismatch

Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh shared a video on a social media platform, citing claims that Rs 7 crore in donations linked to Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir had been stolen. In the video, Sanjay Singh sharply criticised the BJP and connected the alleged theft to a broader pattern of corruption under the central government.

During the video message, Sanjay Singh accused those in power of misusing national assets and even religious offerings. He said, "They consumed the coal, they consumed the gas, they consumed the oil, they consumed SAIL, they consumed the airports, they consumed the roads, they consumed the ports, they pocketed thousands of crores in paper leak scams, and now they have not even spared Lord Ram. They have stolen from the offerings made at the temple as well. Donation thieves, step down from power."

"कोयला खा गए, गैस खा गए, तेल खा गए, SAIL खा गए, एयरपोर्ट खा गए, रोड खा गए, पोर्ट खा गए, पेपर लीक में हजारों करोड़ खा गए, और अब भगवान श्री राम को भी नहीं बख्शा। मंदिर के चढ़ावे में भी चोरी कर ली।
चंदा चोरों, गद्दी छोड़ो।" pic.twitter.com/q7SabU6lKH

Ram Mandir donation controversy and opposition demands

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav also raised doubts about the handling of temple contributions. Akhilesh Yadav alleged that several crores of rupees collected for building the Ram Mandir had suspiciously disappeared. Speaking from a public platform, Akhilesh Yadav demanded full transparency in the management, accounting, and monitoring of the donation funds.

Sanjay Singh and Akhilesh Yadav have both framed the Ram Mandir donation controversy as a matter of public trust, not just finance. Opposition parties are calling it a case of corruption and mismanagement, while the ruling side has not yet given a detailed public response. The developments have again highlighted scrutiny of donation records and oversight systems for the Ayodhya temple project.
