Demand for Ram temple is not communal: Nitin Gadkari

Union Minister for Shipping, Road Transport and Highways, Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation Nitin Gadkari spoke at length at Agenda Aaj Tak about the Bharatiya Janata Party's roadmap for 2019 Lok Sath elections.

When asked if Ram temple is an issue for 2019 general election, Gadkari said, "The issue of Ram mandir is not a communal but a historic one. The Allahabad High Court had made it clear that there was a temple at the Ram janmabhoomi. We would like to build the Ram temple at site of the birthplace of Lord Ram with mutual consent."

Gadkari also said that even some Muslims are in favour of the Ram temple at Ram janmabhoomi.
