Mallikarjun Kharge intensified his attack on the ruling BJP on Wednesday, alleging systematic misappropriation of resources associated with the Ayodhya temple project. Addressing supporters in Patna, the Congress chief invoked Lord Ram, asking the deity to "open his eyes" to those allegedly plundering wealth in his name. The remarks mark an escalation in the opposition party's criticism of the government's handling of the high-profile religious site and related financial matters.
The Congress leader's comments come amid ongoing scrutiny regarding fund management at the Ayodhya Ram Mandir. Kharge suggested that those responsible for any financial irregularities should face divine reckoning, framing the alleged misuse as a betrayal of public trust and religious sentiments.
The Ayodhya temple, inaugurated in 2024 following decades of legal and political controversy, has remained a focal point of national discourse. Opposition parties have previously raised questions about transparency in resource collection and utilization connected to the project's construction and management.
Kharge's remarks represent the Congress party's strategy to challenge the BJP's administrative credibility ahead of upcoming electoral contests. The party has positioned itself as a guardian against alleged governmental misconduct affecting public and religious institutions.
