Yogi brings Ayodhya angle to Delhi polls, promises 'magnificent Ram Mandir in 3 months'

Bringing back the Ram temple pitch in elections, while addressing the poll rally in Delhi on Monday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has declared that magnificent Ram temple will be built within three months. Earlier, UP CM Yogi Aditynath - while extolling the resolution of the 500-year long dispute - had requested each family in Jharkhand to donate Rs.11 and one brick to construct the temple. Yogi's temple declaration comes even as the three-month deadline to form a panel to build Ram temple in Ayodhya as ordered by Supreme Court has almost arrived. 

The temple pitch by the BJP comes amid a massive communal campaign run by the party in the national capital. Even after warnings by the election Commission, UP CM had on Monday called Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal a "terrorist" and a Pakistan stooge as he feed "biryani to Shaheen Bagh protesters."

On January 21, Home Minister Amit Shah addressing a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow, declared that the construction of a Ram Mandir, touching the skies in Ayodhya will begin within three months.  "Not long ago, the Supreme Court ruling for Ayodhya came. For 100 years there was a demand of Indians from all over the world that a grand Ram temple should be built at Ram Janmabhoomi.

I want to tell you that the Supreme Court's decision has come, within 4 months the grand Ram temple touching the sky is going to be built in Ayodhya," he said.

A similar claim was made by the Home Minister in Jharkhand's Pakur last month. Amid the Jharkhand Assembly polls in November, Shah had said, "Not long ago, the Supreme Court ruling for Ayodhya came. For 100 years there was a demand of Indians from all over the world that a grand Ram temple should be built at Ram Janmabhoomi. Congress' politician Kapil Sibal said in Supreme Court 'do not hear the case now, listen later.' I want to tell you that the Supreme Court's decision has come, within 4 months the grand Ram temple touching the sky is going to be built in Ayodhya."
