The BJP on Thursday reiterated that the issue of Ram temple in Ayodhya will be addressed by Supreme Court order.
Speaking on the issue in Lucknow, UP BJP president Keshav Maurya said, “Subramanian Swamy is pursuing for speedy trial in the Ram Janambhomi case, but BJP’s view is that till Court decision comes in
Ram temple construction not possible before Supreme Court order: BJP
construction of Ram temple is not possible.”
Maurya further said, “It’s a matter of faith for us, not an election issue. Opposition raises so much questions on it that it automatically becomes an issue.”
Meanwhile, party MP Sakshi Maharaj said that Ram temple won’t be an election issue in upcoming Uttar Pradesh polls.
Attacking the BJP for raising the issue, Samajwadi Party spokesman Gaurav Bhatia said the saffron party is raking Ram Mandir issue for UP polls despite the matter being subjudice.
“This is primarily to divert attention from their failures since 2014 and communalise the electorate instead. The BJP government has not even expedited the Ayodhya case in the court which shows their double standards on the issue,” said Bhatia.
