Ayodhya donation row: AAP to organise Hanuman Chalisa in all 250 wards
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is organizing Hanuman Chalisa recitals and a signature campaign across Delhi to protest alleged theft of donations at the Ayodhya Ram Temple. The BJP has dismissed the campaign as a political gimmick.
Why it matters
The event illustrates the intersection of religious symbolism and political campaigning in Indian electoral discourse.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will organise Hanuman Chalisa recitals and Shri Ram-Hanuman aarti across 250 wards in the Capital from Tuesday, demanding punishment for the accused in the Ram Temple donation theft.
This is part of the signature campaign launched by the party on Sunday calling for strict punishment for those involved in chanda chori (theft of offerings) at the Ayodhya temple.
“From Tuesday, Hanuman Chalisa will be recited at 250 wards across Delhi, followed by aarti of Prabhu Shri Ram and Hanuman ji . After the prayers, discussions will be held with people about the chanda chori at the Ayodhya Shri Ram Mandir and the attempts to shield those responsible,” AAP Delhi president Saurabh Bharadwaj said.
