Claiming that it was Ram Lalla's blessings which made possible the victory of Bharatiya Janata Party and its allaince in Lok Sabha Elections 2019, Raut added, "The BJP cannot keep asking people for votes in the name of the Ram temple year after year. It is Ram Lalla's blessings that resulted in the overwhelming mandate for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the Lok Sabha elections."
