Ayodhya Again At Centre Of UP Politics As Akhilesh Yadav Plans Temple Visit
With the Uttar Pradesh elections approaching, Ayodhya has once again emerged as the epicentre of a high-stakes political battle. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's planned visit to the Ram Janmabhoomi temple has triggered a sharp BJP response, reviving memories of the 1990 firing on karsevaks under the Mulayam Singh Yadav government. Adding another layer to the debate, Sonia Gandhi's reflections on the Babri Masjid demolition in her upcoming autobiography have brought the temple town back into national political discourse. As BJP's Hindutva narrative faces the INDIA bloc's PDA strategy, the big question remains: Will Ayodhya once again shape the political direction of Uttar Pradesh in 2027?
