With general elections less than a year away, the Bharatiya Janta Party`s top brass has begun its three-day national executive meet here today.
The focus at the meet is clearly Ayodhya, as the party is in fact expected to pass a resolution, which will try and find a balance between the government`s viewpoint on Ayodhya and the VHP`s demand for legislation.
