Chhattisgarh Assembly Election 2018: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath pressed a direct attack on the Congress accusing the party of being the "main obstacle" in building the Ram Temple. While addressing a public rally in Chhattisgarh's Kawardha on Saturday, Yogi said that the Congress party does not want the Ram Mandir to be built in Ayodhya. The party which does not belong to Lord Ram is of no use to us too, he added. Further taking a jibe at the Opposition party, UP CM said "Congress leader Kapil Sibal had appealed to the apex court that the matter should not be taken up before 2019. One should ask the Congress if India is related to Lord Ram or is it associated with an outsider Babar," reported ANI. In an attempt to connect with people's 'feelings', Adityanath told ANI, "People want the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. We respect their emotions. Whatever can be done under the ambit of the Constitution will be done." He further added that Ayodhya has a certain Vedic relevance as it is the birthplace of Lord Ram and development there is being done keeping that in mind.
