Addressing an event in Karnataka’s Mandya, KS Bhagawan said, “There is talk about building a Rama Rajya. If one reads the Uttara Kanda of Valmiki’s Ramayana, it will become evident that (Lord) Rama was not ideal. He did not rule for 11,000 years, but only for 11 years”.
He also claimed that Rama sent Sita to the forest and didn’t bother about her.
