Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav exchange accusations over an alleged donation embezzlement linked to the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Akhilesh targets Adityanath’s frequent visits to Ayodhya, questioning whether the Chief Minister is going there to “oversee” theft rather than for religious purposes. The criticism follows references to an SIT report alleging tampering of CCTV footage.
Adityanath responds by attacking Akhilesh’s record and urging him to visit the Ram Temple and do penance. The Chief Minister also alleges that the previous SP government caused harm to Ram devotees and diverted funds away from temple-related purposes, redirecting them elsewhere. He frames the controversy as part of broader accountability questions for the earlier administration.
Both sides continue to dispute the facts and intentions behind the visits and the handling of donations, with the debate centered on claims, counterclaims, and the reported findings connected to surveillance footage.
