Congress decks up its Indore office

INDORE, Jan 21: On the eve of the Ram temple consecration at Ayodhya, the Congress office in Indore, an over-a-century-old structure, is turning heads with an impressive array of decorations.
Magnificent lights of different hues adorn the Gandhi Bhawan, while a huge poster of Lord Ram has been placed in the middle of the historic building. The poster is clearly visible from Shastri Bridge, an overpass that most Indoreans cross. This comes amid an exchange of barbs between the BJP and the Congress over the grand old party turning down the invite for the Ram temple consecration on January 22 calling it a BJP-RSS function.“Congress has never opposed Ram Mandir. We welcome its consecration at Ayodhya. In fact, it was our party’s prime minister Rajiv Gandhi who had got the locks of the Ramjanmabhoomi opened,” Congress spokesperson Nilabh Shukla said. (PTI)
