"Mudda chal raha hai ya nahi ye to rahega, ye to yoon hi chunaav ke samay koi bhi kuch bole. Magar Bharatiyon ke dilon mein ye mudda hai, jab tak mandir nahi banega samapt nahi hoga. Mandir ban'ne ke baad bhi Ram dilon mein bane rahenge. (This is an ongoing issue, people talk about it during elections. This is an issue which in the hearts of Indians. It will remain a (significant) issue till the temple is built. Even after temple is constructed, Lord Ram will remain in our hearts)," Mahajan told ANI.

It is to be noted here that Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute cases will be heard by an appropriate bench in the first week of January 2019. In the last few weeks, voices are emerging within the BJP demanding early construction of the temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya. Even the RSS had expressed dissappointment at the Supreme Court for delaying the hearing on the matter.

Uddhav had said that the present government at the Centre is strong (in terms of numbers) and asked that if this government does not build the temple, which government will do. He attacked the government over the delay in the construction of the Ram temple on the disputed site in Ayodhya where the Babri Masjid was demolished in 1992. He had said bringing a law on the temple's construction may have been difficult during Atal Bihari Vajpayee's term as it was a coalition government then. But the current government is strong, he said.
