Amit Shah said that the construction of the temple is now in full swing and that Congress is conveying its opposition to the temple construction.

For the unversed, wearing black clothes, Congress leaders hit the streets on Friday to protest against price rise and unemployment with a host of them, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, being detained by police amid dramatic standoffs outside Parliament and the AICC headquarters here.
