Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath said that people need to take inspiration from Lord Ram and that he feels some very good news is on its way. He made the comments as day-to-day hearings on the Ram Janmbhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute at Ayodhya are underway in the Supreme Court. We need to take inspiration from Lord Ram and contribute in nation building, he said.

Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Ghaziabad General VK Singh said a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya will be built when the God himself wants it. "Ramlala had surfaced (in Babri mosque) when he decided to. So his temple will be built when he wishes to have a temple," General VK Singh told reporters after casting his vote.

The Supreme Court today suggested mediation in the Ram Janambhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case, saying it was considering the possibility of "healing relations". A five-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said even if one percent chance of mediation exists in the politically sensitive land dispute matter, it should be done.
