Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said that the Congress was responsible for the delay in constructing Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Addressing an election rally, Yogi said, "Congress party is the biggest hurdle in the construction of Ram temple at Ram Janam Bhoomi at Ayodhya. Its leader Kapil Sibal had made an appeal in Supreme Court that Ram Mandir case should not be heard before 2019."
He alleged that Congress, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) work on the agenda of "Muslim appeasement" without caring for the poor, Dalit, backward and other common citizens.
"Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had said that Muslims have first right over the resources of the country. I want to ask that if Muslims have first right than where Dalits, poor, backward and other common citizens will go," he asked.
