Union minister Piyush Goyal on Sunday a Ram temple should be built in Ayodhya after SC's judgment and with popular consensus. At-a-press conference in Udaipur, Rajasthan, Union Railway minister said BJP has always made it clear that a Ram temple should be constructed at the birth place of Lord Rama. "There should be a decision as soon as possible, with consensus," Piyush Goyal said.

BJP president Amit Shah reiterated that his party was committed to building a Ram-temple in Ayodhya and it would not change its stand. He also exuded confidence of forming next-government at Centre in 2019 with a majority higher-than that of the present one despite the Congress' bid to forge a-grand-alliance. Amit Shah made the remarks while interacting with youths at a function in Jaipur.

Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath will attend a mega Diwali celebration in Ayodhya and is likely to announce a grand 151 metre tall statue of Lord Ram as-a-gift to the people living in the holy-city. However his ability to pacify saints who have been demanding the construction of Ram Mandir before the 2019 polls through legislation in Parliament is what remains a big question.
