Bharti also appealed to opposition

Bharti also appealed to opposition leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Mayawati and Mamata Banerjee to help the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) towards the temple construction.

"Building the temple is difficult as well as easy. If all political parties agree to itlikethey did for the construction of Somnath temple, then nothing can be better than this. If the matter is left unresolved, then only Ram knows how it (the matter) will conclude," she tweeted.
