Ram Nath Kovind

The sprawling lawns outside the Red Fort, a 17th century Mughal monument, will host a week-long 'vedic yagya' in March to blunt "conspiracies" hatched by the country's "inimical forces", BJP MP Maheish Girri said yesterday. President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, are among the political bigwigs invited to the event, Girri, who is organising the seemingly extravagant affair, involving over 1,100 priests, between March 18-25, said.
