Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Jitendra Awhad sparked controversy with claims that Lord Ram was a non-vegetarian and belonged to the 'Bahujans', contradicting common belief. Awhad made the statements in response to BJP MLA Ram Kadam's call for a one-day ban on alcohol and meat in Maharashtra on January 22, the day of the Ayodhya consecration ceremony. In addition, Awhad commented on Mahatma Gandhi's assassination being rooted in casteism.
