However, many news were coming out regarding resignation also. On Saturday, Treasurer Swami Govinddev Giri posted a letter on the trust’s social media X handle. In this post he made his resignation public and said that it will be considered for acceptance in the trust meeting.

Three posts will become vacant if resignations are accepted

If the resignations of both the trustees are accepted, three posts will become vacant in the trust. One post has been vacant for almost a year since the death of Bimalendra Mohan Pratap Mishra, head of the royal family of Ayodhya.

Meanwhile, some other trustees including trust chairman Mahant Nritya Gopal Das and member-lawyer K. Parasaran is involved. He is already not active due to health problems and old age. They are able to attend meetings only online. In such a situation, if the trust is reconstituted, new names can also be considered in place of these trustees.

Change in trust rules necessary for CEO post

If the Central Government appoints a CEO for the Trust, the first thing that will have to be changed is the rules. Legal experts say that a CEO cannot be appointed without changing the rules of the trust, as there is no provision for the post of CEO in the existing rules.
