Lucknow, June 25: Former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lawmaker Ram Vilas Vedanti on Monday said that a grand Ram temple will be built in Ayodhya "all of a sudden".
Talking to the media in Ayodhya ahead of the visit of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the member of the Ram Janmabhoomi Nyaas said that the "temple construction will be done in the same manner as the Babri mosque was razed".
"A grand Ram temple will come up at Ayodhya in 2019, all of a sudden, almost on lines of demolition of the Babri mosque," he added.
Alluding to the demolition of the disputed structure in 1992, the former lawmaker tried to suggest that the way to construction of the Ram temple could be out of court as well. He said that only the BJP had the "capacity to construct the Ram temple".
He also demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Narendra Modi ensure that the Ram Janmabhoomi Nyaas gets back the 67-acre land.
"The BJP now has majority governments in Uttar Pradesh and the Centre and it is the right time for construction of the grand Ram temple and bring the long-drawn battle to an end," he said.

Chitradurga: A man in Karnataka's Chitradurga district set a tehsildar's vehicle on fire, allegedly in frustration over the police’s refusal to accept his mother’s complaint. The accused, identified as Prithviraj, poured petrol on the vehicle of the Challakere tehsildar outside his office and ignited the flames.
Quick action by the office staff prevented the fire from spreading, as they managed to extinguish the flames before significant damage occurred.
Prithviraj was immediately detained at the scene by the police, and a case was filed against him for damaging government property, vandalising the vehicle, and obstructing official duties. The staff of the tehsildar's office also submitted a petition to the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), requesting protection while carrying out their official work.

Prithviraj eventually reappeared on July 23 and confronted the police about the matter.
In a related incident, on August 14, Prithviraj was also booked for setting fire to a motorbike near Vidhana Soudha.
