Nath made the remark while speaking to reporters in Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara district on Tuesday, adding that everyone has their right to Ram Mandir.
"Ram temple belongs to everyone. There is no question of taking credit for it. Since the BJP was in power in the Centre when the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/up-tourism-to-start-helicopter-services-for-devotees-ahead-of-ram-temple-inauguration-23328847" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Supreme Court</a> gave its verdict, it is the responsibility of the BJP to build the temple. The BJP does not have the lease of Ram temple, it belongs to the entire country and everyone has their right on Ram temple," Nath said.
Meanwhile, when asked whether he (Nath) will participate in the Pran Pratishtha program of Ayodhya <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/ramotsav-2024-many-events-to-be-held-from-jan-16-ayodhya-ram-mandir-consecration-23327301" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Ram Mandir</a>, the Congress leader said that he would not visit (Ayodhya) on January 22, but he would surely go someday or the other.
