'Either legal route or compromise could resolve Ram temple issue': Sharad Yadav

Janata Dal (United) chief Sharad Yadav on Saturday avoided commenting on Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Shah's claims of building a Ram temple in Ayodhya, and said that either legal route or a compromise could resolve this issue.

"Either legal route or compromise could resolve the Ram Temple issue. There is no third option," said Yadav, while spelling his party's stand clear on the matter.

"What do we have to do with his comment? People keep on making comments," he added.

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's aide and BJP's Uttar Pradesh in-charge, Amit Shah, earlier in the day said that a grand temple of Lord Ram would be built in Ayodhya soon.

Shah, who visited the Ram temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya, said that he had come to offer his prayers to Lord Ram.

" It is a center of faith for crores of Hindus. I have asked that there should be good governance in the country and making it free of the Congress. I have also prayed that we should all together build a grand temple for Lord Ram here as soon as possible," he told the media here.

The construction of Ram temple at the dispute site in Ayodhya has always been in BJP's top agenda, but it was put on the back burner after formation of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
