PM Modi says ordinance on Ram temple after legal route: Does he want to stick to development agenda in 2019?

Any decision on an Ordinance on the Ram temple can be considered only after the judicial process gets over, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday.

Modi, who spoke to news agency ANI, suggested that the judicial process was being slowed down because Congress lawyers were creating "obstacles" in the Supreme Court.

"We have said in our BJP manifesto that a solution would be found to this issue under the ambit of the Constitution," Modi said, when asked whether the Ram Mandir issue had been relegated as merely an emotive issue for the BJP.
