Ram temple not now
Ram temple not now. A dearth of majority in the Upper House of Parliament was coming in the way of the BJP to bring in a motion and make law for construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Sunday.
Can’t pass law as we lack majority in RS, says Rajnath
Ayodhya (Agencies): A dearth of majority in the Upper House of Parliament was coming in the way of the BJP to bring in a motion and make law for construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Sunday.

Construction of a Ram Temple in Ayodhya was among the promises made by the BJP in its election manifesto which it had released in the run-up to last year's General election. Some other contentious issues like abrogation of the Article 370 which gives special status to Jammu & Kashmir and enactment of Uniform Civil Code were also promised in the party's manifesto.
"BJP does not have a majority in the Rajya Sabha, so this time it is not possible to bring motion in the Parliament to make law for the construction of Ram temple," the senior BJP leader said. He was here to take part in a programme of senior Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Nritya Gopal Das.
When asked if the BJP will bring the motion for a Ram temple if it gets a majority in the Rajya Sabha in the days to come, Singh said, "It is an imaginary question." The ruling party has 45 members in the Upper House and it is unlikely that it will have the numbers during its current tenure. In the House of 243 members, Opposition has at least 132 MPs.
