Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav Slams Congress for Declining Ram Temple Invite

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav criticized the Congress party for declining the invitation to attend the Ram temple consecration ceremony, stating that they will have to pay the price for disrespecting Hindu gods and goddesses.

In a scathing attack on the Congress party, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has accused the opposition party of "raising a finger at Hindu gods and goddesses" and warned that they will "have to pay the price" for their actions. Yadav's remarks came in response to the Congress's decision to decline an invitation to attend the consecration ceremony of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.

Congress Should Seek Apology, Says Yadav

Addressing a convention in Nagda, Ujjain district on Sunday, Yadav said that the Congress should seek an apology for its "sin" of disrespecting Hindu deities. "There is no personal enmity between Congress and us. But there is an ideological fight between us. Why does Congress point fingers at our gods and goddesses? Congress will have to pay the price for this," he asserted.

Yadav Draws Parallels with Historical Events

Yadav drew parallels between the Congress's current stance and its past actions, highlighting the party's opposition to the Somnath temple and its role in the Partition of India. "This is the same Congress. Jawaharlal Nehru opposed Somnath temple and today's Congress opposes Ayodhya," he said. "Congress could have averted Partition but it chose not to do so," he added.

Congress Accused of Vote Bank Politics

Yadav accused the Congress of engaging in vote bank politics and prioritizing appeasement over nationalistic policies. "Congress is involved in the politics of appeasement, which can't be matched with our nationalistic politics. Our policies are patriotic," he asserted.

Madhya Pradesh Sends Laddoos to Ayodhya

In contrast to the Congress's decision, the Madhya Pradesh government is sending 5 lakh laddoos to Ayodhya for the Ram temple consecration ceremony on January 22. Yadav highlighted this gesture as a symbol of the state government's commitment to Hindu religious sentiments.

BJP Steps Up Attack on Congress

The BJP has intensified its attack on the Congress over the invitation snub, with Yadav warning that the opposition party will face consequences for its actions. "The Congress is seeing a vote bank and it will have to pay the price," he said.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's strong criticism of the Congress for declining the invitation to the Ram temple consecration ceremony reflects the ongoing political battle between the two parties. Yadav's accusations of disrespect towards Hindu deities and historical references add a layer of ideological conflict to the debate, while the BJP's broader attack on the Congress highlights the significance of religious sentiments in Indian politics.
