Popular bhajan singer Kanhiya Mittal will be joining the Congress party soon. Ahead of the Ram Temple mega event, Mittal sang the famous bhajan-'Jo Ram ko laye they, hum unko layenge'. 

While speaking exclusively to India TV, Kanhaiya said, "It is possible to serve 'Sanatan dharma' from anywhere." He will join the party ahead of Haryana Assembly Elections 2024. 

“A friend of mine called me today morning and I told him about my wish to join Congress. I don't want any particular party to talk about ‘Sanatan’. I want every party to do that. There’s no clash between me and BJP,” said singer Kanhaiya Mittal.

On rumours of singer Kanhiya Mittal joining Congress, Congress leader Pramod Tiwari said, "He is the one who sang the song 'Jo Ram Ko Laye Hain Hum Unko Layenge'. People who were associated with the BJP are getting disillusioned. If the person who wrote the song on Ram Mandir is leaving the party then it is time for BJP to do self introspection."
