Congress leader Rahul Gandhi addresses supporters during the 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra', in Kohima, Nagaland, Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2024. 

Speaking on the political row over the invite for the Ram Temple inauguration for the first time, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Tuesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the RSS have “captured” the event and turned it into an “election function”, making it difficult for the Congress to attend.

Addressing a press conference here, around 30 km from Nagaland capital Kohima, during his Bharat Nyay Jodo Yatra, he also signalled that there were no plans yet to visit Ayodhya when the march passes through Uttar Pradesh.
