The appointment of retired Air Marshal Jeetendra Mishra as the first CEO of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has sparked controversy and criticism from various political parties and religious leaders. Opposition leaders, such as Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and Congress leader Aradhana Mishra, have raised concerns over the handling of an alleged donation theft case within the trust and questioned the accountability of those who managed the trust at the time of the incident.
Critics argue that while employees involved in the alleged theft case remain in custody, senior figures have been given clean chits, and they demand an inquiry or a joint parliamentary committee to establish accountability. Religious leaders, including Jagatguru Balak Das Devacharya Maharaj, have also opposed the appointment of a CEO, emphasizing that the administration of the temple should be entrusted to saints and seers rather than political or government-linked figures.
