Congress pressurising SC to delay Ayodhya hearing, says PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has blamed the Congress party for the delay in the construction of Ram mandir at the disputed site in Ayodhya, in his election rally in Rajasthan's Alwar.

Modi said one of the Congress leaders had asked the Supreme Court to delay the Ayodhya hearing because of 2019 polls.

"Congress is dragging judiciary into politics. Congress is creating an atmosphere of fear for the judiciary. One of their leaders asked the Supreme Court to delay the Ayodhya hearing because of 2019 polls," he said.
