The sources said that Punjab Chief Minister Mann is scheduled to arrive in Delhi with his family on Sunday evening. Subsequently, both the Chief Ministers will depart from Delhi for Ayodhya with their families. It is reported that they, along with their parents and wives, will visit Ayodhya to pay homage to Ram Lalla.

Kejriwal did not participate in 'Pran Pratishtha' event
The AAP convener was invited to the January 22 consecration ceremony at the temple but had said that he wanted to visit the temple later with his parents, wife and children.
"I received a letter in which I was told that some people would come to me to formally invite me to the consecration ceremony but to date, nobody comes. However, It hardly matters. I was told only one person is allowed to visit but I want to go there with my family members. I will surely visit with my wife, children and parents but after January 22," he added.
