Sharma’s visit comes at a time when the government has come under sharp attack over its proposal to set up the museum dedicated to Lord Ram. While SP leader Gaurav Bhatia accused the Modi government of playing politics over Lord Ram, BSP Spokesperson Sudhindra Bhadoria said that the Centre was trying to hide its failures behind such grand projects.

Dismissing allegations of playing politics over religious sentiments, BJP MP Sanjeev Balyan said that his party had ‘never politicised Lord Ram.’
