NEW DELHI: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has been invited to attend the grand consecration ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya scheduled for January 22, 2024. The invitation was prolonged to the Janata Dal-United chief by Kameshwar Chaupal, a trustee of the Ram Temple, amidst ongoing controversy surrounding the visitor listing. Chaupal revealed that that they had visited Nitish Kumar with out prior intimation, resulting in a missed assembly alternative. However, a proper letter has now been dispatched to the Chief Minister, searching for permission for a gathering to increase the invitation personally.
“Yesterday we had gone to meet him. We had not given prior information that we would be coming, so he left for some programme. Today we have sent him a letter (for an appointment) and after getting permission, we will meet him and invite him,” Chaupal said.
Restricted Guest List For Jan 22 Event
The Ram Temple Trust has opted for a restricted visitor listing resulting from safety constraints, inflicting a stir in political circles. The belief has explicitly excluded chief ministers and governors of states from the invitation listing. However, leaders of all main nationwide events have been included within the prestigious occasion.
Leaders (*22*) Displeasure Over Exclusion
The determination to restrict the visitor listing has triggered dissatisfaction amongst a number of prime political figures who anticipated to obtain invites. The exclusion of a number of chief ministers and governors is attributed to the challenges in implementing stringent safety measures for high-profile dignitaries.
Nitish Kumar’s Recent Leadership Role
In a separate improvement, Nitish Kumar just lately assumed the position of President of Janata Dal (United) after Rajeev Ranjan Singh, also called Lalan Singh, stepped down from the place. This provides one other layer of significance to Nitish Kumar’s potential presence on the Ayodhya occasion, contemplating his newfound management duties.
