Furring construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made a bizarre request for cause, while addressing a rally in poll-bound Jharkhand's Bagodar on Friday. While extolling resolution of 500-year long dispute, he requested each family in Jharkhand to donate Rs.11 and one brick to construct temple. Supreme Court has directed Centre to set up a trust to overlook construction of temple after it awarded disputed land to Hindus.
