Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Digvijay Singh’s planned foot march from Ujjain to Ayodhya, slated to begin on October 20, has been endorsed by Santosh Dubey, a volunteer of the Ram Janmabhoomi movement.
Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Digvijay Singh has announced a foot march from Ujjain to Ayodhya, scheduled to commence on 20 October. The itinerary is expected to cover several towns across Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, culminating at the contested Ram Janmabhoomi site.
The march is being positioned as a political outreach ahead of upcoming elections, aiming to rally support among voters in the Hindi heartland. Organisers have said the walk will highlight issues such as development, cultural heritage and national identity.
Santosh Dubey, a known volunteer of the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, publicly endorsed the initiative, stating that the march aligns with the broader goals of the movement. Dubey’s backing is seen as an effort to link the political campaign with the religious sentiment surrounding the Ayodhya dispute.
Political analysts note that the convergence of a senior Congress leader with a Ram Janmabhoomi activist could reshape local electoral dynamics, though official responses from other parties remain pending.
