The grand fish feast held in Ayodhya has become the flashpoint for a new political row in Uttar Pradesh. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) seized the moment to brand the Congress party as hypocritical, while the Congress defended its decision to award a tunnel contract to the Adani Group in Karnataka.

Congress leaders asserted that the contract was secured through a transparent, competitive bidding process with no irregularities. They emphasized that their opposition is aimed at industrial monopolies, not at any single corporate entity.
