Uttar Pradesh Bharatiya Janata Party chief Mahendra Nath Pandey on Friday claimed that the state's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has a plan for the Ayodhya issue and the same would be revealed around Diwali.

While addressing the media, Pandey said, "Yogi Ji mukhyamantri ke saath-saath bahut bade sant hain. Nishchit roop se unhone Ayodhya ke liye yojana banayi hai. Diwali aane dijiye,khushkhabri ki pratiksha kijiye...Mukhyamantri ke haathon wo yojana saamne aayegi to uchit hoga. (Yogi Ji is not only the Chief Minister but is also a great saint. He has most certainly made a plan for Ayodhya. All of you should wait for the good news, let Diwali come. The Chief Minister himself will tell you the plan)."

Earlier today, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) general secretary Bhaiyyaji Joshi had asserted that a movement similar to the one initiated in 1992 would be carried out, if necessary.

On December 6, 1992, Babri Masjid in Ayodhya was demolished, allegedly by a group of Hindu activists, claiming that the mosque was constructed after demolishing a Ram temple that originally stood there. Since then, several hearings have been held in the Supreme Court to resolve the issue.

"We understand there are some obstacles in the creation of the temple. However, Lord Ram is there in every heart and he manifests through temples. We expect that the Supreme Court will consider and understand the sentiments of the Hindus while delivering a verdict at the earliest," he had said.

On October 29, the Supreme Court adjourned the Ayodhya title suit till next year to fix a date for the hearing.

The court was hearing the matter which challenged the 2010 ruling of the Allahabad High Court which divided the disputed land into three parts.
