Earlier , Congress declared that it would skip the massive inauguration ceremony being planned for the Ayodhya Ram Temple, saying it was a “political project” of the BJP and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
“It is very unfortunate, painful and shameful… They had always opposed Ram Janmabhoomi… The Congress Party had ruled the country, yet where has it reduced itself to today? It will be wiped out in future elections as well. Is this a program of the Sangh? This is a program of the nation; the whole world is waiting for it,” Prasad told ANI
