The Congress today declared that it would skip the massive inauguration ceremony being planned for the Ayodhya Ram Temple, saying it was a "political project" of the BJP and its ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The party said its leaders - party chief Mallikarjun Kharge, his predecessor Sonia Gandhi and the party's leader in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury -- who received the invitation, have declined.
