Ram Mandir: UP Congress Leaders Participate In Makar Sankranti Rituals At Ayodhya | Reporter Diary

Leaders from the Uttar Pradesh Congress have taken a holy dip at the Saryu Ghat in Ayodhya during Makar Sankranti. Notable figures at the event included UP in-charge Avinash Pandey, state chief Ajay Rai, and senior leader Akhilesh Patap Singh. This event has sparked discussion about the Congress' engagement with Hindutva politics. Despite declining an invitation to the consecration ceremony at the Ram Mandir, these Congress leaders have used the occasion of Makar Sankranti to underline the claim that the temple belongs to everyone. This step also indicates the party’s attempt to identify with the mainstream Hindu rituals and traditions, to expand their political influence.
