Who's in, who's out: Political tensions rise as some turn down Ram Temple consecration invitation

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 27 December 2023
Controversy surrounds the invitations for the upcoming Ram Temple inauguration ceremony in Ayodhya. CPI (M) leader Sitaram Yechury declined the invitation, calling it a politicization of a religious event. Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal expressed his disinterest in participating, stating that Lord Ram is in his heart and the whole issue is a show-off. 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'. The Jaipur public rally comes a day after the Congress released its manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls promising a legal guarantee for MSP, and passing a constitutional amendment to raise the 50 per cent cap on reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs among others. The release of the manifesto 'Nyay Patra' was announced by Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, expressing happiness and pride in her mother Sonia Gandhi's presence in Rajasthan after becoming a member of the Rajya Sabha. Unemployment, claimed to be at its peak, was criticised, with allegations made against the BJP and Modi government for failing to address the issue adequately. The Agniveer scheme, accused of shattering people's hopes, was mentioned, along with concerns raised about leaked papers in various states and the ongoing protests by farmers, suggesting that PM Modi is unwilling to heed their grievances.
