The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Congress leaders are quick to blame the PM for every local incident, from a temple theft to a purification ceremony, while the BJP uses Parliament to shout down opposition voices. Both sides are playing to their bases instead of addressing the real issue: security of temple property and the need for respectful debate. The test will be whether the Ram Mandir trust releases a detailed audit of the missing items and if the government allows a structured discussion on Manipur.
