“We pray and work according to spiritual powers. Coronavirus will definitely leave India as soon as the Ram temple is built,” Meena can be heard saying in the clip.

Meena’s statement comes days after Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal had launched the ‘Bhabhi ji papad‘, which he claimed had ingredients that boosted one’s immunity and would help fight the novel coronavirus.

Earlier, Assam BJP MLA Suman Haripriya had said that gobar and gaumutra (cow dung and cow urine) could be a potential cure for Covid-19. Similarly, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had stated that yoga could be a potential cure for the novel coronavirus.

Meena is also not the first person to draw a connection between Covid-19 and the Ram temple. In an interview with the ANI, Madhya Pradesh Assembly Pro tem Speaker Rameshwar Sharma had said that construction of the Ram temple would destroy the coronavirus.

“He [Ram] had reincarnated for the welfare of mankind and to kill demons…as soon as the construction of Ram Temple begins, the destruction of the Covid-19 pandemic will begin too,” Sharma had said.

BJP MP from Bhopal Pragya Singh Thakur has encouraged people to chant the hanuman chalisa from 25 July to 4 August (duration of the lockdown in Bhopal) five times every day at 7.00 pm.

Speaking about building the Ram Temple, she also asked people to light a lamp and offer aarti to Lord Ram on 5 August to defeat the coronavirus.

Ram Temple

In November 2019, the Supreme Court had settled the contentious Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute by ordering the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. The court had allotted another piece of land for the construction of a mosque.

The bhoomi pujan (laying of the foundation stone) of the temple at Ayodhya will be on 5 August and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in attendance.

The construction work is slated to begin shortly after the ceremony and the temple’s trust has set a deadline of 2024 for its completion.

  1. Thanks to such illogical people ruling India. Maybe because of this kind of rulers India is suffering from Covid-19. because these rulers never believe in “prevention is better than cure” instead of this they are searching cure in Gaumutra, Gobar, BHABHI JI PAPAD, Yoga and Ram Janam bhumi.

  2. How can such illogical people sit on the throne to rule India? Maybe because of this kind of rulers India is suffering from Covid-19. because these rulers never believe in “prevention is better than cure” instead of this they are searching cure in Gaumutra, Gobar, BHABHI JI PAPAD, Yoga and Ram Janam bhumi.

  3. “God helps those who help themselves”, dear BJP do your work first of handling covid-19 and then expect god to help.

  4. Ask her what she doing from last 7 yrs , after her govt,, is she bussy in spreading Karuna every where ?? Here qualifications ? Many of said never visited school In here life , what a achievement for public and her , actually this types of people are Karuna for india.. sale quickly everything that country made in 70 yrs of struggling…

  5. These people are totally insane. Why would Ram want people to suffer through the virus and then end it with a new temple? The temple will have nothing to do with the virus ending. A scientific breakthrough with a new anti- virus medication will cause the virus to go away not a mythical god’s temple. Wake up people and stop believing these fairy tales made up by human beings.
