The Shirdi

Sai Baba Temple

in Maharashtra has been caught

up in a row over misuse of its funds.

 

The devotees of the temple are worried about temple funds being used to benefit

politicians.

 

The row came to light when the temple recently issued a notice to build

adjacent roads. But interestingly, these roads fall in the constituencies of

several Congress MLAs who also happen to be the

members of the temple trust.

 

''Our money should be used for some good and not misused,'' says Vivek Mule, a devotee.

 

The concrete road being built from Shirdi to Shani Shingnapur entails an expenditure of a whopping Rs 5.5 crore and is a part of

Congress MLA Jayant Sasaane's

constituency.

 

''This is for religious tourism. Today the roads are in a bad shape and if

spending some money means more people get convenience then what is the problem

with that?'' says Jayant Sasaane,

the MLA.

 

This is a clear case of devotees' donations being used for political gains. And

something needs to be done soon.

Dear Brother, Namaste, who knows it's not just to fill

politians but also to fill the pokets of

missionaries!!!

Its common knowledge that Tempole Money is being used

for evangelical and Jehadi Activities.
