Claim

A Congress delegation, including UP Congress chief Ajay Rai, set out for Ayodhya to seek darshan at the Ram temple — the very temple critics say the party once questioned.

Rationale

Multiple independent reports, including ANI wire copy dated June 30, 2026, confirm the claim's factual core: a Congress delegation led by UP Congress chief Ajay Rai set out for Ayodhya to seek darshan at the Ram temple that day. The delegation included several Congress MPs. The anchor's aside that critics say the party 'once questioned' the temple is attributed opinion/framing, not a factual assertion, and the claim itself only asserts the delegation set out — which is true, even though Rai alleged police detained him before darshan could occur.
