"Not received any invitation, get me courier receipt": Akhilesh Yadav on Ayodhya invite

Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, during an event in the party's Lucknow office, stated that he has not received any invitation for the consecration ceremony of Lord Ram Lalla in Ayodhya on January 22."Do not insult us in the name of Lord Ram. Someone said I got the invitation. Then truth surfaced that it was no invite. It was some invite sent through a courier service, which has not reached yet.

Then before reaching here I checked if any courier reached and also asked people at the party office if there was a courier. Those who claim that the courier was sent then please get us the courier service receipt so that we may track it," Yadav said.While taking a dig at the BJP, he said that the saffron party is dividing the society. "The path chosen by BJP today is to divide the society. BJP's path is neither of tolerance nor of universal acceptance. Today when we are remembering Swami Vivekananda, we should resolve to follow the path shown by Swami Vivekananda," Yadav added.

Yadav has made several claims about the invitation. Earlier, he said that he accepts the invitation only from those he knows. Before that, he had said that if he got an invitation, then he would go.“This is God’s programme, and the chief minister can’t be bigger than the God. Whomsoever God calls, will run to God. If God calls me, I will go," he said.Meanwhile, the preparations are in full swing for the consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla in the newly built Ram Janmabhoomi Temple on January 22.
