State spokesperson of the Aam Aadmi Party’s youth wing, Ratnesh Mishra took a dig at AAP leader Sanjay Singh over the lies he propagated alleging ‘land scam’ in the Ram Mandir construction.

Taking to Twitter, Mishra wrote, “Sanjay Singh ji after lying about Ram Mandir Trust, now you are lying about your party worker too. Your lies will be exposed. My leader is Arvind Kejriwal ji and I demand from him that such an anti-national element should be immediately sacked from the party.” 

Last week, AAP leader Sanjay Singh invited trouble upon himself after fanning controversial statements alleging a ‘land scam’ by Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.

Apart from being lambasted by the Trust and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leaders, Singh has now been slammed by his own party leader for parading lies against the Ayodhya Ram Janmbhoomi Temple.

Sanjay Singh had claimed that Ram Janmbhoomi Trust paid Rs 18 crore for a piece of land that costed Rs 2 crore in 2019. Singh and other party members presented ‘Agreement of Sale’ as ‘Sale Deed’ to propagate their farcical theory further.

After falsely accusing the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust of a land scam, the AAP leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had conducted a joint press conference to further add fuel to the baseless allegations.

Mishra also said that he spoke to various stakeholders in the Ram Mandir trust and realised that the allegations of Sanjay Singh are nothing but an attack on the faith of Hindus.

It is to be noted that this controversy garnered immense support from several opposition leaders including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.

In a press conference, Ratnesh Mishra alleged that since he is a resident of Gonda district and was sent from Delhi to Ayodhya by the party to look into the tensions between Hindu saints and BJP leaders and the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. On his arrival, Mishra found out that the allegations made by Singh on the Trust were completely baseless. He jibed at Singh for using Ayodhya Ram Temple for trying to derive political mileage.

“My father Rameshchandra Mishra had lost his life during kar seva. I don’t think other than me there is anybody else from the party who gave a bigger sacrifice in the construction of the temple," Mishra said in the press conference.

In further revelations, he went on to reveal that Singh had been misusing party funds to build his personal mansion in Sultanpur.
