Raman Singh visits Rameswaram temple

Former Chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh offered prayers at the famous Lord Ramanathaswamy temple here Monday. Singh was accompanied by his family members.

Speaking to reporters, he slammed opposition parties for questioning the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to pilgrim centres of Kedarnath and Badrinath after the end of the campaign for the Lok Sabha elections. There was nothing wrong in Modi offering prayers at the temples there for the well being of the country, he said adding the prime minister had been visiting Kedarnath for the past 40 years.

Singh asserted the BJP-led NDA would come back to power at the Centre with more than 300 seats and would sweep all 11 Lok Sabha seats in Chhattisgarh.
