The Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP's) landslide victory in Uttar Pradesh is a vote for construction of 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 told PTI today.
Vaidya said the Allahabad High Court has held that a temple existed at the disputed site and its remains were found during excavation.
