New Delhi, Sept 16: With the special court in Rae Bareli hearing the Ayodhya demolition case expected to pronounce its order on framing of charges against Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani and some other top BJP leaders on September 19, the party is working on a "contingency plan" in case of an adverse verdict, party sources said.
Top party leaders have been discussing the case and the various possible decisions that could be taken, party sources said.
The issue had also apparently figured at the four-hour long meeting of RSS-BJP leaders on Saturday last at the residence of BJP President M Venkaiah Naidu which was also attended by Advani.

However, none of the leaders were prepared to comment on the matter except to say they are following a wait and watch attitude.
Special Judge V K Singh had on September 12 announced this after defence counsel filed his objections to the CBI's written arguments.

Apart from Advani, the accused in the case are HRD Minister Murli Manohar Joshi, BJP leaders Uma Bharti and Vinay Katiyar, VHP leaders Ashok Singhal, Vishnu Hari Dalmiya and and Giriraj Kishore, and Sadhvi Rithambara.
