Hundreds of Congress activists from Uttar Pradesh, including Ajay Rai, the chairman of the party's state unit, and Avinash Pandey, the state in-charge, will go to Ayodhya on January 15th, Makar Sankranti, in advance of the dedication of the Ram temple.

Notable attendees of the Ram temple consecration event scheduled on January 22 at Ayodhya include Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, former President Sonia Gandhi, as well as leader of the Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury of the Congress party. However, it's unclear whether he plans to attend the event. No, HD Deve Gowda and Manmohan Singh, the former prime ministers, have also been invited.

The consecration ceremony of the Ram Mandir in Times Square, New York, will be broadcast live.

He would visit the Ram and Hanumangarhi temples after taking a swim in the Saryu river, according to Congress leaders from Uttar Pradesh.

Rai said, "January 15 is the day when we are going to Ayodhya. The sun will become "Uttarayan" at 9.13 am, and we shall depart for Ayodhya at 9.15 am while singing "Jai Siya Ram." "After carrying out the custom of harvesting coconuts."

According to Rai, this is a religious move more than a political one. He said, "We are traveling there due to our religious beliefs. This is my first trip to Ayodhya as the head of the Congress UP unit. I had already made several trips to Ayodhya."

Congress has never messed with the "faith" of the people, according to recently appointed AICC in-charge of UP Pandey.

"I am going there (Ayodhya) to attend a private function," Pandey said to the media on January 15. Our hearts are home to Lord Shri Ram."

In addition, Pandey said that his planned travel to Ayodhya had no "political meaning" and that his motivation for going there was religious.

The airport in Ayodhya will be renamed after Maharishi Valmiki and granted international airport status.

"Be it Lord Ram or Lord Krishna, Congress has never played around with the 'faith' of the people as well as will never do so," he said.

Pandey replaced Priyanka Gandhi Vadra as general secretary in charge of Uttar Pradesh last month, an appointment made by the Congress. The party released a statement stating that Vadra is the general secretary "without any specified portfolio".

Pandey oversaw Jharkhand as AICC before.
