Claim
The AAP did nothing for the Ram temple; it was the RSS and BJP's Ram Rath Yatra that started that movement, and before that Rajiv Gandhi had the lock (of the disputed site) opened.
“नहीं इन्होंने कुछ नहीं करा है। वो तो संघ का संघ का रामरथ निकला। संघ और बीजेपी का रामर निकला। उसी ने उस आंदोलन को शुरू करा। उससे पहले राजीव गांधी ने तब अह ताला खुलवाया।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The verifiable historical claims are correct: the locks of the disputed Ayodhya site were opened on 1 February 1986 during Rajiv Gandhi's Congress government (via a Faizabad court order his administration facilitated), and the Ram Janmabhoomi movement was propelled by the Sangh Parivar (RSS/VHP) and BJP, most notably through L.K. Advani's 1990 Ram Rath Yatra — which came after the 1986 unlocking, matching the anchor's sequence and attribution. AAP (founded 2012) had no role in these events, so the rhetorical charge that it 'did nothing for the Ram temple' is trivially consistent with the record. Minor imprecision (the VHP's campaign predates the 1990 yatra, which escalated rather than literally 'started' the movement) does not overturn the core accuracy.
