BJP: divisive temple issue not abandoned NEW DELHI, Monday (AFP) The chief of India's ruling Hindu nationalists Sunday said his party's current focus on the economy did not mean it had abandoned its controversial bid to build a temple on the ruins of a razed mosque. "There has been no change in our vision. We believe a temple should be built at the birthplace of Lord Ram in Ayodhya," Venkaiah Naidu, president of Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India. Naidu said Hindutva, translated as the Hindu way of life, "forms the core of our philosophy as it is a way of leading life but it is not a poll issue." |
