According to the latest health report, 599 tests were conducted in Delhi, resulting in 10 positive samples, Bharadwaj stated. Reassuring the public, he mentioned that only six COVID-19-positive patients are currently admitted to hospitals in Delhi, and the majority of cases are mild. While urging citizens not to panic, he emphasized the importance of taking precautions.

Addressing the consecration ceremony at Ram Temple in Ayodhya, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj criticized the BJP’s approach on the matter. Bharadwaj alleged that the party is politicizing religion, stating, “The way BJP politicizes religion, it is causing harm to religion.” He emphasized that the temple of Lord Ram belongs to the entire country and questioned BJP’s approach to the event, adding, “Ram Temple belongs to the whole country. Who is BJP to decide who to invite and who to leave out? People will go whenever they want to.” As per temple officials, the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir will span seven days, starting on January 16. On the final day, January 22, after the morning puja, the deity of Ram Lala will be consecrated in ‘Mrigashira Nakshatra’ in the afternoon.
