The Congress’s Bhopal candidate Digvijaya Singh on Saturday prayed at a Ram temple here and told its trustees that land on which the structure stood would be handed over to them. While BJP leaders claimed the temple land was grabbed by the Congress, a court here had ordered that the land belonged to the DCC, a local Congress leader said. Congress corporator Yogendra Chauhan said Mr. Singh’s gesture should be welcomed by all.
