Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav stirred political waters on Thursday with a sharp remark directed at the Congress party, accusing it of shedding “crocodile tears” over the Ram Mandir movement in Ayodhya.

Taking to social media, the Chief Minister stated, “After so many years, when Lord Ram is finally smiling on the banks of the Saryu in Ayodhya, Congress is weeping, saying — \’Ram is ours too.\’” He went on to taunt the opposition party further, adding, “No problem, Congress members — now Lord Krishna is calling from Mathura. You are welcome there.”
Political rhetoric intensifies as CM comments on Congress’s stance toward Ayodhya Ram Mandir
The comment comes amid renewed political exchanges around the Ram Temple inauguration and the BJP\’s sustained emphasis on religious and cultural nationalism ahead of upcoming elections. While BJP leaders have widely celebrated the construction of the temple in Ayodhya as a civilisational moment, opposition parties, including the Congress, have often accused the ruling party of politicizing faith.
Yadav’s statement appears to be a strategic nudge — invoking Mathura, a city long considered the next potential flashpoint in the ongoing temple discourse. It is often mentioned in the broader ideological campaign surrounding places of worship that the BJP and its affiliates claim were historically altered.
The Chief Minister’s remarks reflect the party’s continued effort to consolidate its core Hindutva base while simultaneously cornering the opposition on sensitive cultural and religious matters.
As national politics grows increasingly centered on issues of faith and identity, such statements are likely to sharpen debates both inside and outside the Parliament in the coming days.
