IndiaTimes Wednesday, 27 December 2023
Controversy surrounds the invitations for the upcoming Ram Temple inauguration ceremony in Ayodhya.

Samajwadi Party leader Dimple Yadav expressed her willingness to attend if invited. The Shiv Sena criticized the BJP for inviting only top political leaders, with Sanjay Raut suggesting that PM Modi was the only 'VIP' in the country.

Top Congress leaders, including the party president Mallikarjun Kharge, former president Sonia Gandhi, held a rally in Jaipur on Saturday, April 6, to publicly launch its election manifesto 'Nyay Patra'.
