Ruling BJP MLA Ghanshyam Tiwari today cornered the Vasundhara Raje government on the issue of demolition of temples here for Jaipur Metro route and demanded that the government reconstruct the temples to make Jaipur safe.
Speaking on demand for grants for the department of Local Self Government in the assembly, Tiwari said the city of Jaipur was founded with principles of Vastu Shastra but the Vastu of the city has been disturbed due to the Jaipur Metro Railway project.
Tiwari said that no temple was demolished after Jaipur was established, even in the regime of (Mughal emperor) Aurangzeb but it happened this time and the government should atone and set up the temples again with 'Pran Pratishta' of idols to make Jaipur safe.
He said that the government should take care to reconstruct Rojgareshwar Mahadev temple.
Several temples have been shifted due to the metro rail project inside the walled city of Jaipur that included Rojgareshwar Mahadev temple near Chhoti Chopad which invited sharp criticism for the Vasundhara Raje government.
Tiwari stressed that he is favour of Metro railway, but whatever (demolition) happened to the temples was was not good.
