The Supreme Court (SC), on November 9, delivered its verdict on the longstanding dispute of Ayodhya in which it noted that the land will be handed over to Ram Lalla while its legal rights will remain with the government.

The Supreme Court had ordered the Union government to set up a trust in three months for the construction of the Ram temple. Two days after the verdict, the Home Ministry had started working on setting up the trust that will monitor the construction.

Shah addressed the rally on Monday as Jharkhand entered its fourth phase of polling. Fifteen assembly constituencies in Jharkhand voted on Monday — in the fourth phase of the Jharkhand Assembly elections.
