The recent statement by the Congress party in New Delhi, opposing the presence of leaders like Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury at the sacred ceremony of the Ram Mandir on January 22, has sparked a political controversy. The decision not to participate in the inauguration of the Ram Mandir, a significant project for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), reflects a longstanding political divide.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership in the construction of the temple has garnered support from various political figures, religious leaders, and prominent personalities. The Congress party’s reluctance to fully endorse the temple inauguration, citing it as a political project, adds to the ongoing ideological differences between the BJP and Congress.
The Ram Mandir inauguration has become a focal point in Indian politics, symbolizing both religious sentiments and political stances. The decision by Congress leaders not to attend underscores the complexities and divisions within the political landscape surrounding the construction of the temple.
