"Sonia Gandhi's Attendance at Ayodhya Ram Temple Inauguration Sparks Political Tightrope"

TL;DR Summary
Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of the Samajwadi Party (SP), is navigating a complex political situation regarding the Ram Temple consecration ceremony in Ayodhya. While the BJP is openly celebrating the event, the SP is maintaining a cautious stance due to its reliance on the Muslim vote and the need to appeal to all communities. The party faces accusations from the BJP of being "anti-Hindu" and is reminded of the 1990 incident when police fired on karsevaks during Mulayam Singh Yadav's tenure. With the 2024 parliamentary elections approaching, the Ram Temple issue is likely to be a significant point of contention between the BJP and the SP.
