In the lead-up to the elections, concerns are mounting over Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government as DW exposes what appears to be a calculated strategy to consolidate power through the controversial inauguration of the Ram Mandir.
In a recent report, DW highlights the completion of preparations for the inauguration of the Ram Mandir at the site of the historic Babri Masjid on January 22.
The move is seen by critics as part of Modi's alleged anti-Muslim agenda, with accusations of squeezing land for Muslims in a bid to secure support from extremist Hindus during the elections.

The imminent inauguration has stirred unrest, with reports of extremist Hindus committing atrocities across the country.
DW suggests that the BJP, Modi's party, has further stoked tensions by levying false and baseless allegations against Muslims, deepening the divide between communities.
Muslim leaders in India have expressed their apprehensions about the Ram Mandir inauguration, raising concerns about the potential political exploitation of the approved ceremonies.
They argue that the events surrounding the Ram Mandir are being used for political gains, diverting attention from the principles of fair elections and a secular constitution.
As the elections approach, the reported state-sponsored dominance of extremist events in the country has drawn criticism from Muslim leaders.
They assert that such actions go against the principles of fair and democratic elections, and they call for a commitment to a secular constitution.
The inauguration of the Ram Mandir is seen by many as a polarizing move, heightening religious tensions in the country.
DW's report draws attention to the historical context, referencing the Babri Masjid attack in 1992, where Hindu extremists targeted and martyred over 2,000 individuals.
Despite judicial proceedings, the accused were acquitted, and an order was issued to build a temple on the site, contributing to sectarian politics gaining traction.
Critics argue that the Ram Mandir inauguration is another strategic move by the Modi government to influence Hindu-Muslim relations for electoral gains.
The controversy surrounding the event raises questions about the government's commitment to fostering unity and maintaining a secular state.
