# Priyanka Gandhi attacks PM over Ram Mandir theft, Uttarakhand event 2026-08-12T17:40:01+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, questioning why he inaugurated the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya if the temple trust could not prevent a theft of donated items. The Economic Times reports she asked, “Why did PM Modi inaugurate it?” after the temple trust filed a police complaint about missing ornaments and cash. Separately, Priyanka slammed the BJP for a ‘Shuddhikaran’ (purification) event in Uttarakhand after a Congress rally, demanding the PM condemn and apologise. She also took a swipe at Home Minister Amit Shah, saying he had come to sing ‘Vande Mataram’ in Parliament but did not allow a discussion on the Manipur violence. Additionally, TMC MP Mahua Moitra criticised Modi and NDA MPs for protesting against Rahul Gandhi inside Parliament. ## Coverage - economictimes.indiatimes.com - economictimes.indiatimes.com - economictimes.indiatimes.com - economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: Ayodhya, PM Modi, politics, Priyanka Gandhi, Ram Mandir, theft Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/priyanka-gandhi-attacks-modi-over-ram-mandir-theft/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
