Claim
The Aam Aadmi Party did nothing in its entire existence for the building of the Ram temple in Ayodhya — no kar seva, no donations; the Ram Rath campaign was that of the RSS and BJP.
“बताइए पूरे जीवन काल में अयोध्या के प्रभु श्री राम मंदिर बनने के लिए अनुराग ढांडा की पार्टी ने क्या किया है कार सेवा करी चंदा दिया क्या किया नहीं इन्होंने कुछ नहीं करा है वो तो संघ और बीजेपी का राम रथ”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The verifiable components are technically true: the 1990 Ram Rath Yatra was a BJP/Sangh Parivar campaign, and there is no record of AAP performing kar seva or donating as a party to the Ram temple construction. However, the framing is misleading — AAP was founded in 2012, roughly two decades after the kar seva movements of 1990–92, so its non-participation was impossibility rather than refusal. The anchor's 'entire existence' rhetoric obscures this, and omits AAP's later Ayodhya-related actions such as state-funded pilgrimages and consecration celebrations, which, while not temple construction contributions, contradict the implication of total indifference.
