Karnataka CM backs Congress' stand to skip Ram temple event in Ayodhya; BJP slams move

Hindustan Times  

Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday defended the Congress high command’s decision not to attend the consecration ceremony of Ram temple in Ayodhya saying the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party at the Centre has turned a religious event into a political affair. Chief minister Siddaramaiah said the BJP has turned the consecration ceremony of Ram temple in Ayodhya into a political affair. This is the reason why an incomplete Ram Mandir is being inaugurated in a hurry at the time of the national elections in order to create a Hindutva wave to hide the failures of the government.” Siddaramaiah said that their opposition is not hinged on political calculations but a stand against the misuse of the Hindu religion for political purposes by the BJP and RSS. Union parliamentary affairs minister Pralhad Joshi accused the Congress of practising “appeasement politics”, suggesting that the rejection of the Ram temple consecration invitation was driven by the fear of losing minority votes.
