Union minister Kalraj Mishra has said that the government will take a call on the construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya after the Supreme Court comes out with its verdict on the appeal against the Allahabad High Court judgement on the title suit. "We must wait till the Supreme Court comes out with its verdict. Thereafter, depending upon the situation that emerges, the Centre will take a call on the issue," he said.

"There has been no change in BJP's stand that Ram temple should be constructed at Ayodhya though we would proceed in a manner that is amenable to all," Mr Mishra said."Modi is visiting places across the country and there is no reason why he will not go to Ayodhya. We respect the sentiments of our religious leaders, but they should keep in mind that the Prime Minister has to take his own decisions," the minister said.

"They can rest assured that Modi will definitely go to Ayodhya at a time that he deems appropriate and also offer his prayers to Ram Lalla," Mr Mishra said.

The BJP leader and Union minister Kalraj Mishra rubbished Uttar Pradesh minister Azam Khan's allegation that PM Modi had met underworld don Dawood Ibrahim during his recent visit to Pakistan. "By such utterances, the senior Samajwadi Party leader is lowering the credibility of his government in the state which is already facing grave resentment due to its absolute failure in maintaining law and order," he said.

"The law and order situation in the state is deteriorating under Samajwadi Party rule. People are upset with the administration. The state government is coming out only with slogans and promises instead of development on the ground," Mishra said.

"BJP will fight the UP elections on the issue of development and the problems faced by the electorate," Mishra said.
