The government has a responsibility to check who was collecting funds for the Ram Temple, he told a press conference here.
'I am neither opposed to the Ram Temple nor did I speak ill of any organisation or the collection of funds for Ram Temple. Even my party members have given money, but I want to know who has authorised those collecting money door-to-door? What's their background? Who gave them licences,' he said.
