As the country is preparing for the consecration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, senior Congress leader Sam Pitroda has raised a question, stating, "Is Ram Mandir the real issue or unemployment and inflation?"

Coming heavily on senior Congress leader Sam Pitroda over his remark on Ram Temple, Vishwa Hindu Parishad said that it confirmed that "Congress maintains a distance with Lord Ram," reported news agency ANI.
"The statement of Sam Pitroda that he is bothered about the celebrations across the country over Ram Temple in Ayodhya, I am surprised by it. Such programmes are done by the whole community. We`re not accepting the government`s money for it and they are not making any arrangements. The devoted persons are holding such programmes. This is a confirmation that Congress maintains a distance with Lord Ram," VHP president Alok Kumar told ANI.
