Rahul Gandhi Cites BJP's Politicization Of Ram Temple Event, Expressing Difficulty In Attendance
This stance follows the recent decision by Congress leadership to decline the invitation to the Ayodhya event.
Rahul Gandhi has voiced reservations regarding Congress leaders attending the Ram temple consecration scheduled for January 22, citing concerns about the event being politicized by the BJP and RSS. During a press conference in the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Gandhi expressed reluctance to participate in the ceremony, accusing the BJP and RSS of turning it into a "political event" centered around Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This stance follows the recent decision by Congress leadership to decline the invitation to the Ayodhya event.
Gandhi underscored the challenging nature of the decision, asserting that the consecration had taken on an election-oriented tone orchestrated by the BJP and RSS. He stated, "It is difficult for us to attend the Ram temple consecration ceremony when our principal opponents, the BJP and the RSS, have captured the function and turned it into an election event."
