Raichur: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding his stance on visiting Ayodhya.

Addressing presspersons here he emphasized that he has neither confirmed nor denied any plans to visit Ayodhya. He clarified that the issue revolves around the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) attempting to politicize the temple matter, which he opposes.
