Nripendra Mishra invited for life consecration ceremony
Main opposition Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and former Congress President Sonia Gandhi have also been invited to the consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya. It is being said that Ram Temple Construction Committee Chairman Nripendra Mishra met Mallikarjun Kharge and invited him for the consecration ceremony. He has personally invited Sonia Gandhi. Apart from this, invitation for the program is also being sent to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. However, Manmohan Singh is unwell. Recently, he was seen on a wheel chair during the proceedings of Rajya Sabha. In such a situation, there is a strong possibility that he will not attend the program due to ill health. Similarly, Sonia Gandhi has also been seen in limited programs only. Apart from the meetings of the opposition alliance, she has been missing from other events. She doesn’t even come to her parliamentary constituency Rae Bareli. In such a situation, it is difficult for them to come. While meeting Mallikarjun Kharge, Nripendra Mishra requested him to come to the program. Nripendra Mishra had already asked for time from Kharge. It is discussed that during this meeting, Kharge has accepted the invitation for the program. However, all this is being said that the final decision on participation in the Ram Mandir program will be taken by the Congress President as the program approaches. It is believed that a big Congress leader may participate in the program. But, no discussion has taken place on this yet.
