The Minister for Religious Affairs said Vijay Mishra said, “After Thursday’s incident in which two persons lost their lives, there is nothing left to hold discussions with the priests at the temple. Now, government will take over the Vindhyavasini temple under its control. There is no point left in considering the opposition by the priests when things have reached the extent.”

In addition to this, he also said while the law has been passed by our side and its need only the confirmation of UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav.

While the head of Vindhya Panda Parishad Rajan Pathak replies, “We have 1,100 card holder priests. We take action on any complaint of fleecing of devotees. Akhilesh government is bent upon taking away our livelihood. We condemn it strongly but it cannot be taken as a precedent for taking over the reins of the temple.”

While from this discussion it also yet to be clarifies that if once the government get control, th persists will become government employees on fixed salary. They will have no right on Offerings made by the devotees and would also not be able to fleece them for payment. Once the government gets control a new trust will be formed to ensure better facilities and security for devotees either that is inside or outside of the temple.
