Senior BJP leader and Union Minister Prakash Javadekar on Saturday said that the Ram temple was never a poll issue for the saffron party as he asked the Congress to clarify its stand on the matter.

Highlighting Congress leader Shashi Tharoor's remarks that no good Hindu would want the Ram temple at the site of a demolished mosque, Javadekar asked whether the Congress wanted a temple in Ayodhya or not. Ram temple is not a poll issue for us but a "matter of belief", the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) poll in-charge for Rajasthan told reporters here.
