"I want to thank all of you. I thank you all. I am in Ayodhya since Saturday. You all have been with me and my journey has been success.  I want to thank everyone. I want to thank state government, police ministration and specially natives of Ayodhya, I want to thank all my brors and sisters. All those saints who blessed me yesterday, I told m yesterday that work which we are going to do will be incomplete without your blessings.When I went to offer prayers today, I h a completely different experience. re is some awareness in that place. 

I was unhappy about fact that I couldn't understand wher I was going to pray to Ram Lalla or visiting a jail. This is an unfortunate fact and it is happening to us. re should be an end to this and our temple of Shri Ram should be constructed re. I came here with this sentiment."
