Chennai, July 09: BJP today rejected Vishwa Hindu Parishad's demand for a legislation for construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, saying the issue was not on the NDA agenda.
There was no basis for such a demand now, BJP president M Venkaiah Naidu told reporters here.
"I don't know why the VHP leaders are making the demand. BJP cannot force such an idea on other constituents of National Democratic Alliance," Naidu, who is here to attend a meeting of RSS and its affiliates, said.
Construction of a Ram Temple was not on the NDA agenda and there was no question of thrusting it on the allies, he said adding BJP wanted the NDA government led by A B Vajpayee to complete its full term.
Describing as "unfortunate" the failure of Kanchi seer Jeyandra Saraswathi's formula to find a solution to Ayodhya dispute, Naidu said it was for religious leaders to reach a consensus on the issue or accept the court verdict.
