BJP is not on back foot on Ram temple issue: Amit Shah

Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah on Wednesday said that the party is “not at all on back foot on Ram temple issue”.

New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah on Wednesday said that the party is “not at all on back foot on Ram temple issue”.

Shah had yesterday said that the party lacks majority to implement its core issues like Ram Temple and Article 370.

He had said that BJP needs 370 MPs, two-third majority, to address these issues.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh had also earlier said that dearth of majority in the Upper House of Parliament was coming in the way of BJP to bring in a motion and make law for construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya.

Construction of a Ram Temple in Ayodhya was among the promises made by BJP in its election manifesto which it had released in the run up to last year's General elections.

Some other contentious issues like abrogation of Article 370 which gives special status to Jammu and Kashmir and enactment of Uniform Civil Code were also promised in the party's manifesto.
