Indore, March 10 Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav accused top Congress leaders on Tuesday of not having visited the Lord Ram temple in Ayodhya yet, saying they were ashamed to do so.
Yadav was addressing a workshop on "Vaktrutva" (oratory) in Indore as part of the Bharatiya Janata Party's 'Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Training Maha Abhiyan 2026'.
"BJP workers are not only trained but also understand the progress and importance of nationalism, whereas (top) Congress leaders have not visited the Ram Temple till date," a release issued by the BJP quoted CM Yadav as saying.
He accused the Congress of obstructing the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya over the years and claimed that the party's top leaders are now ashamed to visit the temple.
"This is the true character of the Congress. This is the biggest difference between the BJP and the Congress," he said.
The Congress has been grappling with alleged contradictions since before independence, which is a result of the lack of training among its workers, the CM added.
"BJP workers work for the nation while remaining firm on their views, while Congress leaders lead their party without a clear ideology," he said.
BJP National Joint Organisation General Secretary Shiv Prakash, the party's state unit president Hemant Khandelwal, and Regional Organisation General Secretary Ajay Jamwal also addressed the workshop.
