Claim
The Aam Aadmi Party officially opposed the Ram temple.
“आपने तो राम मंदिर का विरोध किया। ऑफिशियली विरोध किया।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
There is no record of the Aam Aadmi Party officially opposing the Ram temple. AAP welcomed the 2019 Supreme Court verdict that enabled the temple's construction, and its later criticisms (the 2021 land-deal allegations and the 2026 donation-embezzlement charges) target the temple trust's finances and the BJP, not the temple itself. The anchor's claim of 'official opposition' conflates fund-mismanagement allegations with opposition to the temple and is unsupported.
