Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the Congress for hindering the Ram temple construction in Ayodhya and disrespecting Lord Ram by declining an invitation to the ‘pran pratistha’ ceremony. Speaking at a Pilibhit rally, Modi accused the Congress of being entrenched in appeasement politics, implying it’s unable to break free. This assertion underscores escalating political tensions surrounding religious sentiments ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
