Treasurer of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirth Kshetra Trust, Swami Govind Dev Giri
Because of my busy schedule, “I was able to give limited time to the overall working of the temple all this while.
Ayodhya/Lucknow: Newly appointed general secretary of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, Swami Govind Dev Giri on Friday said that his predecessor, Champat Rai, who resigned over temple donation theft row, is “completely innocent and his integrity has always been impeccable and unquestionable”. Sharing his plan after taking over as general secretary, Giri said his priority would be to turn the Ram Temple into a prime centre that works in the service of the nation. My events are pre-decided for a year,” said Giri, who served the Ram Temple Trust as treasurer before being elevated as general secretary. Giri said he, along with new CEO Air Marshal (retd) Jeetendra Mishra, would bring systems and processes in place and take the temple forward to the path of progress.
I remain extremely busy with my religious engagements and programmes.
Because of his nature, he used to trust people blindly. He could not distinguish between honest and dishonest people due to lack of judgement.
They all will work for the same goal which is to meet the expectations of the devotees,” he said. Speaking on the role of Champat Rai, Giri said he was involved with planning, foundation, construction and initial functioning of the Ram Temple for the past six years. “No clash would take place between the trustees and the CEO. “His gentle behaviour and nobility went against him. His personal conduct cannot be questioned.”
