“Does the Ram Temple [in Ayodhya] belong to the Bharatiya Janata Party?” Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Kamal Nath asked on October 26, a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that he would attend the inauguration of the temple on January 22.
Speaking to reporters in Chhindwara, from where he is contesting the upcoming Assembly election, Mr. Nath said, “The temple belongs to every person in the country and a huge symbol of our Sanatana Dharma. And I am very happy that the Ram temple is finally being made.”
Mr. Nath also filed his nomination on October 26 from his pocket borough after offering prayers at a Ram temple in Chhindwara.
