Bhajans-kirtans to yajnas, Himachal Pradesh Congress uses new playbook to corner BJP over Ram Temple row
The Himachal Pradesh Congress, led by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, organized bhajan-kirtans and yajnas to protest against the BJP over alleged theft of donations for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. This strategy represents a shift for Congress, traditionally seen as less engaged in religious discourse, as they aim to hold the BJP accountable for perceived misdeeds against Hindu sentiments. Sukhu also claimed that former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi played a pivotal role in the temple's narrative by facilitating the opening of the disputed site during his tenure.
