BJP MP Pratap Simha faced a clash with Dalits in Karnataka s Mysuru over alleged neglect, as the village supplied stone for the Ram Temple s idol. Accused of a decade-long indifference, Simha s confrontation, captured on video, unfolded just before the Ayodhya Ram Temple ceremony. Political divisions heightened, with shankaracharyas opting out, citing political concerns. The incident follows Simha s recent controversy involving a security scare in Parliament. These events underscore the complex interplay of politics and religion ahead of the upcoming general election.
