Objectives and Reasons of the Bill

• Growing scope and financial affairs The current management structure was facing limitations considering the increasing work of the shrine, increasing expansion, smooth financial affairs and pending legal cases. Hence the need for a separate statutory mechanism was created.
• According to the New Management Committee and Reorganization Bill, the temple will now be reorganized as ‘Shri Ram Mandir Devasthan Trust (Ramtek).
• Transparency and Convenience to Devotees A special management committee will be constituted for the temple under the control and supervision of the State Government and an Executive Officer will be appointed.

The opposition besieged the government over the Ramtech Trust Bill

NCP Sharad Chandra Pawar senior party leader Jayant Patil and Congress Legislative Leader Vijay Wadettiwar strongly criticized the government on the ‘Shri Rama Mandir Devasthan Trustee System, Ramtek Bill’ which was tabled in the Legislative Assembly, referring to the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Opposing the placement of political figures in temple trusts, both the leaders demanded that the bill be referred to a joint committee.
Jayant Patil gave the example of Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir Trust not having people’s representatives and said that political figures should not be given place on Ramtek Mandir Trust as well. He expressed fear of increasing corruption in temple management due to politics.

Transparency required

Vijay Wadettiwar, referring to the financial malpractices at the Ram temple in Ayodhya, called for transparency and accountability in the management of places of worship. He was of the opinion that instead of people’s representatives and politicians, opportunities should be given to charitable, clean and religious persons in the temple trust. He also raised the question as to what is the need for a new trust when there are no allegations against the existing committee. Both the leaders demanded that the Bill be sent to the Joint Committee and passed after thorough consideration to ensure the sanctity of Ramtek Temple, faith of devotees and transparent administration.
