He also appealed to all political parties to pass a bill for early construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. The VHP leader has announced that all the saints arrested by the UP government would again go to Ayodhya to join the parikrama, which started on 25 August and continue till 13 September.

‘It is the minister who is running the government not Akhilesh Yadav,’ he added.
‘I will go to the high court against the atrocities of the state government as they made us travel all through the state yesterday without food and medicines even when the court had ordered our release,’ he said.
