Claim: Congress leader Jairam Ramesh compared toilets with temples ahead of inauguration of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
Fact-check: An old video of Jairam Ramesh commenting on temples and toilets is shared as the recent one - FACTLY
Verdict: jairam ramesh made this statement in 2012 when he was serving as a union minister of rural development and during the inauguration of the 'nirmal yatra', an initiative aimed at raising awareness about sanitation. later, ramesh's comments faced criticism from both the opposition and members of his own congress party. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
