Lucknow, July 17 -- Amid the Ram temple donation controversy, an influential Ayodhya seer will most likely find a place in the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust when its executive committee meeting is held in Ayodhya on July 22, a Trust official, who did not wish to be named, said on Thursday. This possibility has arisen even as three posts in the Trust are vacant following the resignations of Champat Rai (as general secretary) and Anil Mishra (as trustee) last month due to the donation controversy and the death of Vimalendra Mohan Pratap Mishra in August 2025. New trustees are expected to be appointed to all three vacant posts. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) strategists are brainstorming to increase Ayodhya's representation in the Trust by appointing one seer from the temple town as a permanent member and two others as invited members. Two names have emerged in the saffron camp's internal survey and their background checks are currently underway. The Local Intelligence Unit (LIU) and Ayodhya police have also been asked to assist with this. Based on their report, the names will be announced at the Trust meeting. Two other permanent members of the Trust will be selected from within the saffron camp. "It has also been decided that the other two permanent members will be appointed from within the organisation itself," said the Trust official quoted above. While the top RSS leadership is not keen to assign responsibility to any pracharak in the Trust, no final decision has been taken on this yet, he added. As the eadership does not want to lose its credibility following the Ram temple donation probe, alternative names are also being considered....
