"Somebody was telling me that he is touring the South. He is touring the South because there is sun there, it is nice there, and here it is cold. He does not want to come here in the cold, hence he is touring the South and tomorrow in the night he will reach there and take Ram's darshan in the Ram Temple," said Kharge.
