Amid conflicting opinions within the INDIA bloc, the Congress announced that Sonia Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury will skip the Ram Mandir event on January 22. The party labeled the ceremony as an "RSS/BJP event" and emphasized that the incomplete temple's inauguration was expedited for electoral purposes. In a statement, the Congress cited their commitment to the 2019 Supreme Court judgment but expressed reservations about the political overtone given by the BJP/RSS. This decision follows similar stances from other parties, with Mamata Banerjee terming the event a "gimmick show."
