Champat Rai Article on Ayodhya Temple Construction Sparks Political Debate

Former SRJTKT general secretary Champat Rai released a nine-page article on August 18 claiming Nripendra Misra exercised near-complete control over the Ayodhya Ram temple construction project.

Rai alleged that Misra rejected decisions made outside the construction committee and handpicked firms like Design Associates for infrastructure, while crediting him for overcoming project hurdles.

Congress leader Pawan Khera linked the internal criticism to a broader conflict between the RSS and the Modi government, following recent controversies regarding temple donation management.
