LUCKNOW: Senior

leader and Rajya Sabha member

said that his party has never opposed the Ram Temple and wants an amicable solution to the Ayodhya issue.

Speaking to reporters on Friday, he said that it was during the Congress government that the locks of the temple in Ayodhya were opened. "Every Ram 'bhakt' wants a temple. The Congress has never opposed the temple but we want an amicable solution to the issue. We will wait for the Supreme Court decision on Ayodhya," Sinh said. Sinh who is a member in the publicity cell of All India Congress Committee stated that the chance of a mega alliance against the ruling BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha election was intact.

"Whatever the BSP chief has said relates to state elections in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. The message, which is naturally being dismissed by the BJP, is that Mayawatiji has expressed faith in UPA chief

and party president

," he said adding, "I am hopeful that the scenario would change when the lok sabha elections come closer." Sinh cornered the yogi government over the deteriorating law and order situation. Referring to the recent killing of Apple executive Vivek Tewari, he said, "People can manage with limited means but law and order limits all possibility of growth by imposing checks on individual freedom."

Later, a delegation from Congress Party met the victim family of the Thakurganj double murder case. "A brief interaction with the family and residents in the area showed that people have lost faith in the government and police system," said Zeeshan Haider, party spokesperson.
