In Short
- RSS ideologue M G Vaidya said the BJP's election manifesto mentioned the temple.
- The win in UP was a public endorsement of it, he said.
- The BJP won as many as 325 seats in the UP Assembly election.
The BJP's spectacular victory in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections is a vote for the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ideologue M G Vaidya has said.
The BJP's election manifesto talked about building a Ram temple in Ayodhya and the popular verdict can be termed as a public endorsement of it, he added.
Vaidya said the Allahabad High Court has held that a temple existed at the disputed site and its remains were found during excavation.
He said the NDA Government should bring a law for Ram Temple construction in the UP town if the Supreme Court fails to resolve the issue.
"The BJP's win in Uttar Pradesh reflects backing by the voters of the state for building a Ram temple," he told a news channel yesterday.
Vaidya's comments come a day after the BJP won as many as 325 seats in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. The party is set to return to power in India's most populous state after a hiatus of 14 years.
BJP President Amit Shah said yesterday that the party's performance in the Assembly elections was a victory of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.
