"Because Of Vote Bank": PM Modi On Congress Skipping Ayodhya Ram Temple Event

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the Congress and its allies had used the Ram Mandir issue as a political weapon.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi questioned the Congress for its refusal of the invitation to attend the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of the Ram Janambhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya.

Speaking in an interview with the news agency ANI, Prime Minister Modi said that the Congress and its allies had used the Ram Mandir issue as a political weapon.

"When we were not even born, when our party was not even born. At that time, this matter could have been dealt with in the court. There could have been a solution to the problem. When India was divided, then during the time of partition, they could have decided to do so and so. That was not done. Why? Because this is like a weapon in their hands, a weapon for vote bank politics," the Prime Minister said
