Udupi: Sri Vishwesha Tirtha Swami of Pejawar Mutt said on Thursday that the results of the recent Assembly elections in five States have come as a warning to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and he should give priority to economic reforms and construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

Speaking to presspersons here, the Pejawar seer said that the Hindu voters would be enthused if Mr. Modi gave priority to construction of the Ram Temple and this might help him in the Lok Sabha elections. It was also essential that Mr. Modi maintained good relations with the allies of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The BJP should ally with like-minded parties. If the BJP disregarded the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu, it might create problems for the party. Mr. Naidu was now doing everything to see that the BJP did not come to power in the next Parliamentary elections, he said.

The seer said that Mr. Modi had taken certain tough decisions. But the expectations of the people had come down, as they wanted Mr. Modi to do more for them. The benefits of demonetisation had not reached the people, he added.
