Ram temple issue is targeted at political benefit: Congress

With BJP Rajya Sabha MP Vinay Katiyar saying that the proposed Ramayana Museum is a “lollipop” to please people who want the Ram temple to be constructed in Ayodhya, Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Wednesday said he partially agreed with Katiyar as the whole country believes that the BJP was and utilising the issue before the polls for cheap political gains.

Singhvi said, “This is one of those rare occasions when I may partially agree with Mr. Vinay Katiyar for a simple reason, that the whole country believes that the BJP really misuses, plays games with, distorts and utilises and misuses the Ram Mandir (temple) issue probably for cheap political gains.”
