- Congress questions PM’s silence over alleged Ram temple donation theft
The Congress party has intensified its criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding allegations of embezzlement related to donations for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. During a press conference on June 27, 2026, Congress leader Akhilesh Pratap Singh highlighted the lack of response from Modi and the Union government concerning these serious allegations.
The controversy revolves around claims that substantial funds intended for the temple's construction have been misappropriated, raising questions about transparency and accountability in the handling of donations. Critics argue that Modi's silence on this matter undermines public trust and suggests complicity or negligence in addressing potential corruption.
The Ram Temple, a site of immense significance for many Hindus, has long been at the center of political and religious disputes in India, making the handling of its funding particularly sensitive. As the Congress party seeks to leverage this issue to challenge the ruling government, it underscores the ongoing political tensions as the nation approaches upcoming elections.
The implications of these allegations could resonate beyond party lines, affecting public perception of governance and accountability in the current administration.
