Taking to Instagram, Mukesh expressed, “The defeat in the Ayodhya elections should teach us that alongside a grand temple, efforts should also be made to enhance the lives of the surrounding residents. Amid budgets in the millions, it is essential to allocate some funds to address the issues faced by the local people. Whether it’s the Ram temple, the four pilgrimage sites, or the Khatu Shyam temple near Jaipur, these places of reverence should not be turned into tourist spots. Consideration should also be given to the residents living there.”
This statement comes amidst reactions from various quarters regarding the BJP’s loss in Ayodhya. Sunil Lahri, who is famous for his portrayal of Laxman in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan, also voiced disappointment over Ayodhya’s voting patterns.

Sunil expressed on Instagram, “We are forgetting that these are the same Ayodhya citizens who doubted Goddess Sita after she returned from exile. What do you call the person who even denies God? Selfish. History stands proof that the citizens of Ayodhya always betrayed their king. Shame on them.”
In another post, he added, “We salute your greatness dear citizens of Ayodhya, you are the ones who didn’t spare even Goddess Sita. We are not shocked that you betrayed the man who made sure that Lord Ram came out of that small tent and was installed in a beautiful temple. The entire nation will never see you with respect again.”
