The RSS top brass is hopeful that the NDA government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi will fulfil its promise of building a ‘grand’ temple to Ram Lalla in Ayodhya before the end of its present tenure at the Centre.
The RSS, along with its other Parivar constituents such as VHP, has been spearheading a nationwide movement for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. The matter related to the land dispute is currently pending disposal before the Supreme Court which will begin the hearing into the case on 10 January.

The RSS has spoken favourably about Narendra Modi’s reply in an interview on the Ram temple issue that he would await the court verdict on the issue.
The RSS along with its other Sangh Parivar units appear to be unwilling to give up on their demand for the construction of the temple before the end of the tenure of the present government.
RSS Sarkaryvah Dattatreya Hosabale has in a statement reminded the Modi government about the promise the BJP had made in its election manifesto in 2014. He said that people expected the BJP to fulfil its promise and build a Ram temple in Ayodhya soon.
“Even in the 2014 election manifesto prepared under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi, the BJP promised to explore all possibilities within the framework of the Constitution to facilitate the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. The people of Bharat have reposed complete confidence and gave BJP the full mandate. The people of Bharat expect this government to fulfil the same promise during this tenure,” Hosabale said.
He, however, termed the Prime Minister’s statement on Ram temple construction as a positive step.

“We feel that the statement by Prime Minister is a positive step in the direction of temple construction. The Prime Minister reiterating the resolve to construct a grand Sri Ram Temple in Ayodhya in his interview is in tune with the resolution passed by BJP at Palampur in 1989. In this resolution the BJP had stated that they would try to construct the grand Sri Ram Temple at Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya through mutual dialogue between the two communities or by enabling required legislation,” Hosabale added.
