New Delhi: ‘Manuvad is returning after 500 years’, INDI leader Udit Raj made a shocking statement on Twitter, formerly X on Twitter. Hitting back at his statement, BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi said that it is clear from these statements that Congress is running ‘Nafrat ki Dukaan’. “They are not happy with the Ram Temple, thus engaging in religious appeasement”, said Tripathi. Moreover, the BJP leader mentioned that such comments made by the Congress will have repercussions in the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections. “They (Congress) are not understanding the pulse of the country and the people”, said the BJP leader.  

After facing flak, Udit Raj clarified his post and stated that he is not opposing the Ram Temple and that his tweet should not be seen in connection with the Mandir. 

For the unversed, the consecration of Ram Lalla will take place in Ayodhya on January 22. Several leaders including Congress' Sonia Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, former PM Manmohan Singh, and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury have been invited to attend the event.
