NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann will visit Ayodhya on Monday to pay obeisance at the newly built Ram temple, AAP sources said.

The Aam Aadmi Party convener was invited to the January 22 consecration ceremony at the temple but had said that he wanted to visit the temple later with his family.

“Kejriwal and Mann will be going to Ayodhya tomorrow. They will be accompanied by their families also,” a source said on Sunday.

While Kejriwal did not attend the consecration ceremony on January 22, the AAP had organised a series of events in the national capital to celebrate the occasion. From organising shobha yatras to Sundar Kand recitals, the party had marked the day with several of its leaders participating in them.

Talking about skipping the Ayodhya event, Kejriwal had last month said, “I got a letter that said only one person was allowed (for the ceremony) due to security reasons. They said a team will come to give a personal invitation but no one came.” “I want to visit for a darshan of Ram Lalla along with my wife and children. Parents are also longing for a darshan.”
