Declare the date of Ram Mandir construction: VHP to BJP

Meerut: Asking Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to declare the date of beginning of Ram Mandir construction in Ayodhya, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Thursday stated that now no excuses will work as BJP is at the helm at the Centre and Uttar Pradesh, both.

VHP office-bearers, at a press conference here, said, "BJP is holding power at the Centre as well as Uttar Pradesh. Now, none of its excuses will work for delay in construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. We want the party to announce the date of beginning of the construction of the temple as soon as possible."
