Party Accuses State Government of House Arrest Over Temple Donation Probe

Congress officials allege that the Uttar Pradesh government, led by the BJP, is using the chadhav controversy – alleged misappropriation of donated funds and land‑deal irregularities – to suppress opposition voices. Ajay Rai told reporters that he and his team intended only to pray and compile a factual report on the allegations, but were instead placed under what the party terms a "house arrest" at a guest house of a state university.
