AAP will organise recitations of the 'Sundarkand' a chapter from the Ramayana, in all Delhi assembly constituencies starting next week, party leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said.
The Aam Adami Party (AAP) is all set to spread the fervour of Lord Hanuman across Delhi with 'Sundarkand' recitation programmes across all the 70 Assembly constituencies in Delhi on Tuesday, party leader and Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said. "The Sundar Kand recitation programme will begin on Tuesday at all assembly constituencies. It will be held every Tuesday at the zonal level, on every second and last Tuesday of the month at the ward level and every first Tuesday of the month at the assembly constituency level", news agency PTI quoted Saurabh Bharadwaj as saying.
According to news agency ANI, the AAP leader also said, "We invite the general public also to it... Soon, at around 2600 places, Sunder Kand Path and Hanuman Chalisa would be organised".

Amid a controversy over the Shankracharyas refusing to attend the Ram Temple inauguration, the Delhi Minister was asked about the I.N.D.I.A. bloc's stance. He said, "We have no questions against the Ram Temple. Whoever is asking questions is asking the wrong questions. There is no need to question it. There is no timing to be seen for good work. We welcomed the Supreme Court verdict on it... The construction of Ram Temple is a matter of joy and pride for us."
