Andhra Leaders Attend Ram Mandir Event, Except CM Jagan Who Skips Despite Invite
-
Andhra Pradesh CM Jagan Mohan Reddy has not received an invite to the Ram Mandir inauguration event in Ayodhya. He will not be attending due to other commitments.
-
Chandrababu Naidu (TDP president) and Pawan Kalyan (Jana Sena chief) have received invites and left for Ayodhya to attend the event.
-
Analysts speculate Jagan may not have wanted to attend due to his Christian faith or to avoid appearing closer to BJP and alienating minority supporters.
-
Naidu aims to use this event to get into BJP and Modi's good books as he has been seeking alliance opportunities.
-
Kalyan is already allied with BJP so will also get a chance to meet and impress Modi in Ayodhya.
