Another Congress MLA from the state Sudhir Sharma also reached Ayodhya for the ceremony.

On receiving the invitation to the ceremony earlier, Singh had promised to attend it, calling it a lifetime opportunity but later changed his stand with the Congress high command declining the invite to the event.

He had then said that he would visit the temple whenever possible but did not make it clear if he would attend the ceremony on January 22.
