UP Congress Raises Concerns Over Ram Temple Donation Theft and Trust Transparency
Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai has accused efforts to protect the main accused in the alleged theft of donations at the Ram temple in Ayodhya. He criticized the BJP government’s handling of the issue and questioned the appointment process for the Ram Temple Trust’s CEO, calling for Hindu religious leaders to be involved. The Congress plans village-level 'Chaupals' to raise awareness and demands transparency, linking the matter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP. Rai also addressed inflation concerns ahead of the 2027 state elections.
