Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday inaugurated a temple to the Hindu god Ram at the site of a razed mosque in the northern town of Ayodhya, an event analysts say signifies the start of election campaigning for his party while fulfilling a longstanding promise to its Hindu support base.
Ram temple is inaugurated in northern Ayodhya city 32 years after a Hindu nationalist mob demolished the Mughal era Babri mosque.
Temple’s consecration marks an unofficial start to the Hindu nationalist leader’s re-election campaign in polls later this year.
