You don't need 303 seats to take over Hindu temples to fund your minority appeasement schemes. You could have accomplished that with just 145 seats like cong did between 2004-09.
303 was to liberate Hindu temples from the tyranny of the secular state.

Just to give an example, that famous Thillai Nataraja Swamy temple used to be controlled by the TN govt until a few years back. The Temple was a mess. Murthis & Vigrahas would routinely go missing, Temple land encroached, funds misappropriated, terrible maintenance.
The Temple management went to the SC & won the case against the HRCE. Since then the Temple has got a major facelift. Maintenance works that were pending for decades nearing completion, encroachments cleared. More importantly nothing goes missing anymore. twitter.com/i/events/11136…
Contrast this with Madurai Meenakshi Amman temple which is fully controlled by the govt. Literally everything is encroached. You have fires burning down entire mantapams, zero maintenance, murthis routinely go missing. Its literally like the days of kafur
Anyone who has been to the Thillai Nataraja Temple & Madurai Meenakshi Temple will know the stark difference between how the two temples operate.
The secular government should have nothing to do with Temple affairs. Else below will be the result.
