Uttar Pradesh Congress leaders, including Ajay Rai and Deepender Hooda, visited Ayodhya on Makar Sankranti, taking a holy dip in the Saryu River and offering prayers at Hanuman Garhi and Lord Ram. The visit comes after the party rejected an invite to the Ram Temple ceremony. The leaders expressed their faith in Lord Ram, stating that the deity belongs to everyone. However, a few people were seen vandalizing a Congress flag outside the temple. Security arrangements, including the use of drones for surveillance, were also highlighted ahead of the Ram Temple 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony on January 22.
