AAP to launch signature campaign for action in Ram Temple donation row

Former Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal addressing a press conference in New Delhi on Friday. | Photo Credit: Sushil Kumar Verma The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will launch a pan-India signature campaign on Sunday demanding that those who “stole” from the Ram Temple in Ayodhya be “hanged”. It also accused the Centre of protecting the culprits.  As part of the campaign, a letter addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be signed by people across India.  “It appears that instead of ensuring that those responsible for wrongdoing against bhagwanji are punished, attempts are being made to protect them. It seems that the SIT and the FIR are merely an attempt to mislead the public and bury the matter. Eight junior workers have been arrested while efforts are being made to shield the powerful,” reads the draft of the letter shared by the party.  “Prime Minister, please do not do this. Those guilty of stealing from the Mandir of Bhagwan Ram should be hanged. Protecting them is ‘mahapaap’ (grave sin),” the draft said.  The AAP …

As the INDIA bloc’s partners gathered in Delhi on Monday, the Aam Aadmi Party not only stayed away from any new alignment with it, but also sharpened its attack on the Congress, the largest Opposition party that leads the alliance. Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal with the party’s Punjab MLAs in New Delhi last month. (X/@ArvindKejriwal) AAP leader Somnath Bharti outright declared that the alliance — which the party formally exited in 2025 barring issue-based support thereafter — had “no future” so long as the Congress led it. “[Congress] said on one hand that we would fight as an alliance and back each other, but behind the scenes [it] appears to be with the BJP,” Bharti said.
