Opposition leader urges Modi to address alleged Ram Mandir fund misuse in Parliament

Mallikarjun Kharge, the president of the Congress party and opposition leader in the Rajya Sabha, publicly pressed Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide a parliamentary answer regarding alleged theft of donations meant for the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Kharge highlighted reports that funds and valuable items associated with the temple’s construction have gone missing, suggesting possible embezzlement. He argued that a formal reply in the House is essential for transparency and accountability.

The demand was made during a session in New Delhi, reflecting heightened scrutiny of the government's management of the high-profile religious project. No official response from the prime minister’s office was recorded at the time. The episode adds to ongoing political debates over financial oversight of large religious initiatives.
